We share with you the Agreement of the Sectorial Board of Judges of First Instance and Instruction of Ponferrada dated 05/05/20, in view of the new health measures adopted by the authorities for the GRADUAL UNLOCKING IN TERMS OF COMPLIANCE WITH CUSTODY AND VISITATION REGIMES OF MINOR CHILDREN. 1. The return to the ordinary regime of compliance with visitations both midweek and weekends in shared and exclusive custody, given that since the past day 2, minors are allowed to leave their homes accompanied by a parent at various times of the day, depending on the age of the minors and the number of inhabitants of the municipality of residence, and it is expected that this mobility will increase from the next day, May 11. However, there is no doubt regarding the normal development of these visits at the provincial level, although when they involve interprovincial travel and as long as these are limited, health regulations in the matter must be adhered to, and they can be carried out with the agreement of the parents to fulfill their respective obligations of child care and work-life balance. 2. Parents are still urged to act responsibly and try to reach private agreements via email, WhatsApp, etc., to allow the non-custodial parent to recover the days they could not enjoy the company of their children during the confinement.
