My ex and I have equal split joint custody of our two children. My children spend one week with me and go to my ex the next. My ex doesn't live far away so the kids have no problem staying in the same school. They are both doing very well.
The problem is that my ex wants to move out of the area because she wants to buy a house in a different location that is affordable for her. That location is an hour away and she thinks that she can still work with me to keep the kids in the same school as they are right now. Her proposal is for me to keep the kids from Monday through Friday. She would take the kids from Friday evening through Monday when the kids are dropped of at school. I told her that her proposal isn't fair as I will not have the kids on the weekends and just have them only from Monday through Friday morning.
The only way I believe this will work for the kids to stay in the current school system is for them to be with me full time and for her to have them every other weekend. Her proposal doesn't sound fair given that we have split custody and that I will not have them for weekends. I will not give in to her proposal as it is unfair.
I don't think she will like my counter proposal and have hinted that she will go to court to get a judge's decision on this. She is determined to buy a new place and says that the location nearby is too expensive therefore she can't affort it.
I'm not sure how it works but with both parents having split joint custody and if one parent wants to move out what are my options?
Will I lose my split joint custody of my kids as the court seems to always favor the women? She is the one that wants to move away from our current arrangement. If the shoes were on the other foot I would think that I would have to give up split joint custody to do so.
Thanks in advance.What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
