Per curiam, the circuit finds the district court properly dismissed the parents' challenge to the FDA's emergency use authorizations for child Covid-19 vaccines. The parents do not allege any facts establishing a similarity to cited cases in which children sought vaccines without parental consent, nor do they allege their children are or will be subject to any vaccine mandates possibly imposed by third parties. The parents have not demonstrated an injury in fact and do not have standing. Associated organizations also have not shown standing. Affirmed.

J. Garry finds that the lower court properly declined a husband's request to declare the parties' separation agreement invalid. Although a state executive order in effect at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic required immediate electronic transmission for remote notarization, sending the document by U.S. mail constituted a "minor variation" that did not taint the process. Affirmed.
Court: New York Appellate Divisions, Judge: Garry, Filed On: November 2, 2023, Case #: 534281, Categories: Civil Procedure, family Law, covid-19
J. Powers finds that the lower court properly held a father in willful violation of a child custody and visitation order in which he shared equal parenting time with the mother. The father contends he failed to return the child because he was under quarantine for Covid-19 exposure, but he failed to justify why he also quarantined the child. Meanwhile, awarding sole legal and primary physical custody to the mother served the child's best interests since custody exchanges that occurred at a fast-food restaurant had become so acrimonious that police often had to be called to the scene. Affirmed.
Court: New York Appellate Divisions, Judge: Powers, Filed On: October 19, 2023, Case #: CV-22-2111, Categories: family Law, covid-19

J. Fisher finds that the lower court properly held a father in willful violation of two custody orders and awarded the mother sole custody of their son. The father contends he acted in the boy's best interests by trying to protect him against Covid-19, but evidence supports the willfulness finding. Meanwhile, the custody award and the decision to limit the father to psychologist-supervised visitation was supported by a sound basis. Affirmed.

J. Reynolds Fitzgerald find that the lower court properly denied a husband's objections to an order entered by the support magistrate. The husband was due spousal support relief after his job was eliminated during the Covid-19 pandemic, but the income imputed to him, while correctly including household expenses that had been paid by his current wife, should not have included nonrecurring payments, such as the value of a Mexican vacation. Affirmed in part.

J. Stiglich finds the district court properly awarded sole legal custody of the divorced couple’s child to the father for the limited purpose of vaccinating him against Covid-19. Though the parents originally shared custody, they disagreed on whether their 11-year-old child should be vaccinated. The district court correctly found that vaccination was in the child’s best interest based on the pediatrician’s recommendation and government and professional groups’ guidelines and research results. Consideration of other factors presented would not change the result. Affirmed.
Court: Nevada Supreme Court, Judge: Stiglich, Filed On: September 28, 2023, Case #: 84685, Categories: family Law, Guardianship, covid-19
J. Dorrian finds the lower court properly denied the father's motion to hold the mother in contempt for a violation of the parties' shared parenting plan because the only reason she was unable to transport the child to the father for his weekend visitation was because of a positive Covid-19 test that required a quarantine period for her and the child. Affirmed.
Court: Ohio Court Of Appeals, Judge: Dorrian, Filed On: September 26, 2023, Case #: 2023-Ohio-3437, Categories: Contempt, family Law, covid-19
J. Chicchelly finds that a parent was improperly denied an application for vaccination determination concerning a dispute with her ex-husband over whether their children should be vaccinated. Since their dissolution did not address the issue, the lower court constitutes the proper venue. Reversed.
Court: Iowa Court Of Appeals, Judge: Chicchelly, Filed On: June 21, 2023, Case #: 22-0686, Categories: family Law, Jurisdiction, covid-19
