Coparenting during coronavirus means some couples renegotiate custody easily, some call in attorneys, but either way, one parent misses out.

A week before anyone knew that they would have to spend the next month in quarantine, Henry Gabriel got into his dream school.

Scott and Dawn have been separated for 14 years. Ever since, they’ve shared time with Henry one week on and one week off.

While one parent might be more lenient about letting their child do what they normally do, the other might want to limit the exposure.A good way to mediate these conversations, Sodoma said, is through a physician. Having a medical professional to give the quarantine order can avoid conflict.

Sodoma advises families to over-communicate. She said it's important to approach difficult decisions involving the pandemic with an understanding that the situation is unprecedented to everyone else as well.Jeff Williams, 51, lives in Portland, Oregon and co-parents his 17-year-old daughter with his ex wife. Williams and his ex agreed early on in their separation that they would make all big decisions together before they happened in order to be prepared.

Megan Perez, 46, worked four different jobs in Rogers, Arkansas before the pandemic hit. As COVID-19 kept getting worse, he lost those jobs and moved in with his parents in April. While moving in with his parents wasn't in his prior plans, he said he's lucky to have food, transportation and air-conditioning. His son is seven years old and he shares custody with his ex wife.

Joanna Cooper, 48, lives in Durham, North Carolina with her seven-year-old son. She said that there's only so much playing she can do to entertain him. They were playing a game in the yard when she realized that she couldn't provide the type of connection that her son has with kids his age.
