A jester would entertain the Lord/Lady/Baron/King/Queen. They would usually do this during meal times. Jesters traditionally wear brightly coloured clothes. They would also wear a brightly coloured hat with bells on the end. Jesters did entertain during meals but whether this was the usual time depended on what type of entertainer they were who employed them. There was no tradition of wearing 'brightly' coloured clothes and wearing a cap with bells on. In fact for most of the time jesters wore normal 'court' clothes and dressed up in special clothes (but still not necessarily the well known motley or parti coloured costume with cap and bells) only during festivals or special events.
They would do things from playing sports, hunting or playing music. The court Jester was also another form of entertainment.
A jester's costume is called a motley. This comes from the name of the fabric. A motley fabric had various coloured threads. Jesters costumes were also made in a parti coloured pattern. However it is wrong to think that the motley or parti coloured costume is the only type of costume jesters wore. In fact the wore normal court clothes for most of the time and wore their jester's costume during special events.

In "As You Like It," the character Touchstone serves as the court jester and provides comic relief throughout the play. He is known for his wit, humor, and sarcastic comments, often challenging the societal norms and conventions of the time. Touchstone's interactions with other characters, particularly his banter with the shepherd Corin, add levity to the play and offer insights into the themes of love, marriage, and social hierarchy.
A child doesn't come under the jurisdiction of the court unless there had been a divorce. If you were legally divorced you would need the court's permission to take the child out of state. If you are not under any court's jurisdiction at this time then you are free to move.
