Provided certain conditions are met, divorced parents can
move their children to their respective partners' homes, despite the national
lockdown.
In what is another change to the original set of lockdown
rules, a government gazette published on Tuesday sets out the new requirements.
It states that a child can be moved between the parents,
provided there are "arrangements in place". These include having a
court order, or that a "parental responsibilities and rights
agreement" or a "parenting plan" exists. That plan must be
registered with the family advocate.
The gazette, signed by social development minister Lindiwe
Zulu, states that the parent transporting the child must have the relevant
documentation with them at all times.
It also states that nobody in the home that the child is
being moved to can have Covid-19 or have come into contact with someone
suspected of having the respiratory illness. Times
