My ex went to a week-long party at the beach while our kids were with me. There was no social distancing, no masks, sharing of food and drinks, etc. When he returned, he found out people had tested positive for Covid. He was supposed to get the kids the next day, but said he would get tested before seeing them. One daughter has asthma and was going to be having surgery in early August and needed to stay healthy. It took 15 days for him to get results and they came back positive. This was 5 days before our daughter's surgery. He did not see them during this time and did not request to see them. We dropped cards and gifts off and they face timed multiple times per day. The hospital said he was not allowed to be at the hospital for her surgery or her recovery at the hospital (she was in for 5 days). I told him he should test again to be sure he is negative before seeing the girls once the one was out of the hospital. He finally received a negative test and we have resumed a normal schedule. He missed a total of 17 days with them over the summer. During the summer, our schedule is 50/50 and during the school year it is 60/40 (I'm 60, he's 40). School starts August 31st. I gave him a 5 day weekend upfront, 2 days back with me, and another 5 weekend. He is now asking to have them the rest of the summer, with the exception of 4 days, to make up the time he missed. The girls don't want to do that, and neither do I. He is threatening legal action because any days missed are required to be made up. He has done this in the past when he has gone on vacation during his time. Is it a requirement to make up time missed? I am trying to give some extra time, but this is an extreme circumstance with a lot of time to make up. Even if we did make it up, he already has a week vacation this Fall he wants to make up for as well. At some point, I feel like enough is enough.
