Jennifer Hargrave, of Hargrave Family Law, was recently a guest on KRLD Radio where Baylee Friday asked her: Could refusing the Covid-19 vaccine put a parent at risk of losing custody?

Baylee

Could refusing the COVID vaccine put someone at risk of losing custody or visitation with their child. Jennifer Hargrove at the Hargrove Family Law in Dallas says it’s unlikely.

Jennifer

In my experience judges are actually pretty hesitant to make a medical decision like that without a medical expert’s opinion. But there are exceptions. For example, if a parent is taking some action that is intentional in putting that child at risk or if there is some kind of neglect or intentional action that is harmful to the child. 

Baylee

So as Jennifer says,  it’s best for parents to communicate with each other when it comes to medical decisions and she adds that parents usually are on the same page when it comes to their kids’ health.

Soo C.

{acf_testimonials_user_location}

Divorce a very difficult and emotional decision for anyone to make, but finding the right
legal support was probably the most important decision I made other than taking that
step forward to end my marriage. Finding that legal support can be challenging – asking
around discretely for recommendations, meeting with them and then choosing someone
can be overwhelming. What I found with Jennifer Hargrave and the Hargrave Family
was a team with my best interests at heart. Thank you Jennifer for helping me become
the best, empowered me! My family and I thank you.

Allison B.

for an attorney who not only has the qualifications, but also actually listens and cares
