Divorced/separated parents sharing custody of children during the COVID-19 pandemic face special challenges for parenting, according to the leaders of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) and the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC).

As the pandemic has become more complex and prolonged, the AAML has explored this subject in depth with its new publication, “19 Tips for Parenting During COVID-19,” directed at parents sharing custody during this crisis. The guidelines are divided into three sections: For Parents, For Parents and Children, and Taking Care of Yourself.
