What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
My wife and I seperated in May. Within a month she quit her job accepted a new one and moved her and our girls 2 1/2 hours away from our home. She told me she was not happy and wanted a divorce but has yet to file. She wants me to pick up the girls every other weekend and I have told her i need some time to get my life in order and know it will hurt to pick up and drop off the girls for a while, especially with our short time involved in this and her quick decision making and unwillingness to try counseling or anything to make it work. We were having no problems this just happened overnight. she is blaming me for hurting the girls by not seeing them for more than a couple of hours when i can get there. did she have the right to decide she was the custodial parent like this and just move away before getting the divorce underway? She left me with a mortgage I cant afford on my own especially with child support which is yet to come. where do I go from here and what can i do? any advice would be appreciated.
