There is someone at home with the child.

Except on "weekends" from the OP initial post.....but I agree, that is not child neglect because neglect is a complete pattern of not being there for the child. However if anything happened while they were gone it would be most likely considered "child endangerment" in the US......until age 13 when it is ok to leave them alone.
I had a few months where I had to leave our daughter home alone before she was 13 after school & before we got home from work after moving into the new home we bought in a new area & a new neighborhood. Better home alone in a locked home with phone close by than with someone I didn't know. Knew she was safer there.
The issue in the original post is more that he doesn't want to be part or her catering business & that is the REAL ISSUE that they need to resolve. If she wants the business then she needs to find a new business partner who really wants to do the work. Resolve that issue & the child issue will resolve itself. I do find that people tend to go off on rabbit trails rather tgan FOCUS on the foundational problem expressed by OP'S including this one
