[Solved] Spending more time with son during lockdown

Hi,
My son is 16. Slightly autistic.
He was living with his mum & stepdad. His mum passed away & he stayed on with stepdad.
I always had him a least a day\week & followed his progress at school. No court orders.
Now he is temporarily staying with his mum's relatives since the Coronoavirus.

Relatives said I can't have him because of the lockdown. They said there are vulnerable people with them. They informed me without discussing it.
No old people live with them but they have a 10 yr old child.

Now I see my son on a daily basis for about 15 mins from a distance. (Relatives live nearby) But this isn't enough & hardly a quality time.

I want to spend more quality time with my son.

Does the social distancing apply in this case ?

They're working together & I feel they're trying to marginalise my role in my son's life.

(I live by myself)

Any advice?

Thanks.

hi,

its an annoying situation. but hopefully the lockdown is set to be relaxed from next week. so mayber they will run out of excuses then. why only 15 minutes, will they not allow more time?

There is no reason especially as you are your sons dad that if he chose to that he spends majority time with yourself.
Depends if you can do it of course , but that's an option if they are saying they have vulnerable people in their household.
