What I am a military wife who will PCSing to Texas the first of next year. I have primary physical custody of two children from a previous marriage, and am trying to find the fairest way to modify our, now, custody agreement. We currently live twelve hours apart and meet halfway every weekend adjacent to a federal holiday, as well as alternate Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break, and a month in the summer. Since we will now be living further apart, is there anyone out there in my situation who has come up with a parenting schedule that works well for them. Right now, we are responsible for all of our own costs as they relate to travel. Now that airfare will more than likely be involved, who is responsible? Also, as my children are minors (12 and 6), am I going to be expected to let them travel unsupervised? Is it unreasonable to expect him to come sometimes to where we will be living to visit. He never came to our current city to visit their schools or attend their activities in the four years we have lived here, with the exception of the one time he was here in an effort to get his child support reduced. I just want to modify the agreement so that it is both amicable and fair. Any feedback from people who have been in this situation, or who know the law, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
