Professionals are urging separated parents to work together during lockdown, to minimise the impact on their children.
Social distancing rules allow for children under the age of 18 to move freely between households.
National reports, however, suggest separated parents have used social distancing rules to unnecessarily change their children's contact arrangement, with the consequence that they are seeing less of one parent.
Milli's Separate Families Centre in Jersey, now closed, has also urged those who previously relied on their assistance to manage contact to put their own differences aside.
Financial pressures may also come into play. A parent who's financial situation has changed as a result of coronavirus, may struggle to meet their financial obligations.
Family lawyer, Advocate Barbara Corbett, urges people not to rush to court where that is the case.
