The decision was issued on 01 of December and suspends the father’s visitation rights until February, unless he is vaccinated.
According to reports, it is a question of a separated couple, where the mother of the child has custody and the father has rights of visit, including alternate weekends and one week during the holiday season.
However, it all came about when the father submitted a request to the court in mid-December, to obtain the modification of his visitation rights, as well as one more day with his son during the holiday season.
In response, the mother requested the suspension of her access rights after learning that she had not been vaccinated against COVID-19, in addition to calling him a “conspirator” and an “anti-vaccine” .
Given the context, the court specified that, “It would not be in the best interest of the child have contact with his father if he is not vaccinated and opposes the security measures in the current epidemiological context”.
