Confusing lockdown rules are creating stress for separated families, according to one Sydney-based family lawyer.
The current public health orders in place in NSW are leaving families confused and uncertain about “reasonable excuses” to leave the house, particularly when sharing custody of children and navigating visitation arrangements, said Sydney family lawyer and director of Holmes Donnelly & Co Solicitors Laura Donnelly.
With the lockdown for the Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Wollongong areas set to run until at least 30 July, she noted, there have been predictions it could last until September as COVID-19 case numbers continue to rise.
