What is the name of your state (NYS)?
Hello,
New here thought i'd float this out there.
A few yrs ago my ex moved 45 mins away knowing the children's legal address was my house & that I had residential custody during the school yr.
We also have a 50/50 split.
She wants to move the kids to her district because she doesn't want to keep making the drive 3-4 times a week to my area with the kids & the new baby she had with her current BF.
I'm hesitant because I don't know how changing my kids legal residence will affect our split & custody.
Clearly I can't have custody of them during the school yr if they legally live with their mom in order to go to school there.
Also, my boys are 6 & 8.
How will this affect them?
Although, it may increase my nights with them since i can drop them off to their mom before school on my way to work.
Otherwise I have my parents take them to school out by me.
Part of me wonders if i'm being an ass & inconveniencing everyone just because my divorce agreement says I can & part of me wonders if i'm opening myself up to a potential loss of custody if I agree to it.
Even if its to alleviate the burden of travel for everyone.
I don't trust this woman.
She talked about moving out of the area (100 miles) because her BF may be transferred but it didn't happen nor would I of let her take the kids without a fight.
My divorce agreement I believe would of stopped that should she of tried to move & take them with her since they legally lived with me during the school year.
What happens if they legally live with her?
Do I have to get her to agree to not move any further away?
Our divorce agreement says we go to the mediator first but i plan to consult a lawyer first but not to bring one along. I don't want to annoy the court by charging in with a flame thrower.
thanks in advance.
