Co-Parenting and the Covid Vaccine with Lisa Zeiderman, Esq.

Published: April 6, 2021, 11 a.m.

It has been such a stressful year; the Covid-19 virus has caused overwhelming anxiety and uncertainty not only for adults but kids, too.

I think it\u2019s fair to say that we are all hoping the vaccine brings some level of \u201cnormalcy\u201d to our lives and makes parenting a bit easier, as well. It hasn\u2019t been easy saying no to my teenagers when they want to see friends, and remote learning has been a nightmare! I could go on for days\u2026and days.

\xa0

But while I\u2019m beyond thrilled to get my kiddos vaccinated what about the thousands of people who don\u2019t believe in vaccinating their kids? What happens when you are CO-PARENTING with an ex that is vehemently against vaccines and you are PRO?

\xa0

What do you do then?

\xa0

Can you take legal action?

\xa0

We find ourselves faced with a totally new situation with this Covid-19 vaccine that can make co-parenting even more difficult!

\xa0

This is why I have the best of the best on the show today to help answer all your tough questions and more!\xa0
