Backdrop to this story is the woman who lost custody rights in Chicago. The judge reversed his decision after the heat was turned up on his original ruling. However :
Fox News spoke to several family law attorneys who agree that if a child is immunocompromised, a judge presiding over a custody battle may order a parent to get vaccinated if the issue is properly presented at court.
Joryn Jenkins, a family lawyer in private practice at Open Palm Law in Florida, pointed to three reasons a judge may require parents to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in divorce court: first, a parent would have to properly bring the issue before the court; second, the child may have pre-existing conditions that would put him or her at risk of getting a severe COVID-19 infection if living with unvaccinated parents; third, the court acts in the best interest of the child, and if requiring parents to get vaccinated is in the child's best interest, a judge may order parents to get the shot.
Obviously still can be an issue if presented correctly.
