100 Mile Leash Law

[bononos]

Do you not think that your ex's attorney will "attack" you (as you call it) in the same manner we are.
Good preparation, huh?
If you can't hack it now, wait till it's done in front of a judge, or possibly by a judge.
You may need to show why this is a good move or there is substantial reasoning behind, and you have yet to prove it or show good cause to any of us.
You are clear on the options and possible outcomes of this, plus you have been made aware of how others feel regarding this type of situation.

If you're not divorced, you've never been through ANYTHING like what I'm going through, and I really don't want your advice.

Jesus. I hate it when people are so self-riteous.

I came on here because I wanted to know if anyone had been through an experience like mine. What I get is high & mighty martyrs who have never been where I am and have no idea what they're talking about.

I refuse to believe that wanting to be happy is a bad thing. Yes, I want to be happy! Is that so bad? I want my kids to be happy! I want my future husband to be happy! My ex? Eh, not my concern.

All I wanted to know was whether the 100 mile leash is a binding rule.

And I refuse to believe that making myself miserable is the best thing for my kids. Come on, people! How happy can kids be living with miserable parents?
This is like the mom that stays with the cheating husband for the kids. A good idea?
Umm. NO! Not in my opinion.

QUIT your fricking whining. Yes i am divorced and I am an attorney and the only one being self-righteous is you. You can move whereever your little heart desires. Move to timbuktu -- the kids can't without a court order. Why? Because they have a father -- a man that YOU chose to be their father -- who is more important to them than your new screw. It is not a leash. Put the shoe on the other foot. If your kids lived with dad more than you and he wanted to move you would be wanting that leash clamped down tight. It goes both ways. It is binding. And you need to grow up. Good grief. My ex is bound to Ohio for the next 13 years and he is a Canadian citizen/permanent US resident. His entire family is another country. And yet he won't move out of the state due to our custody order because our daughter's needs come before his. I won't move out of state for the next 13 years either because my daughter's needs come before mine. It's called being a parent. If you want to continue whining about the 100 mile leash, be prepared for a court to muzzle your complaints.

Yep, I do believe that I will be attacked in court.
At that point in time, I will be prepared.
And as for 'how others feel about it':
Oh, I think if you actually knew me, my kids, my fiance, or my ex, you'd be a little more qualified to 'feel' any which way about it.

And as for anybody who suggested I'm a bad parent:

BITE ME.

That is all.

 

[Bethany]

LOL!
Wow, and I can see how that's made YOU such a merry person.
Bitter much?
And for the record, I never wanted to contest the 100 mile LEASH rule.
I never wanted to go any farther.
I'm not complaining about it, I'm wondering if it means that I CAN move.
Okay, I know I CAN'T move further than 100 miles.
What I want to know is if that means I CAN move less than 100 miles.
If you're an attorney, you should be able to answer that pretty definitively.

 

[bononos]

Roof! Roof!
We got leashes, muzzles and now biting!

Not without seeing your custody order and how it is written and what exactly it says. Which you haven't typed in. You have just been moaning and whining about 100 miles. IF what you say is correct, then you notify the court and move within the 100 miles -- of course that depends on whether the 100 miles is from your current residence, his residence, the court house, the county line or whatever else your order is using to determine that. I am a very merry person and very happy with my life. What i hate is when parents think that their dislike of their ex is more important than their children. Parents need to realize that their role as parents supercedes everything else -- including their role as new boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, or job title. Love your children more than you hate your ex. And you have said several times that you HATE your ex, yet I haven't seen you say how much you LOVE your children.

 

[bononos]

Love your children more than you hate your ex.

WOW, Now that is "Free Advice" to live by!
Thanks! Never thought of it that way.

 

[Bethany]

The court order requires that I don't move farther than 100 miles from his residence.
And I don't remember saying that I hate my ex. I did say that I'd stay in town if I had to to keep my kids, hating him the entire time for purposefully keeping me here.
And I think that's a valid way to feel.

And of course I love my kids. Sheesh.

BITE ME.

That is all.
