Well thanks everyone for shedding some light on this for me.

I was playing devil's advocate and asking this question as if I was the one proposing to move. It is my ex who is contemplating on the move and all the responses confirmed my take on the matter. She is under the idea that being a woman gives her a lot of rights and that she could just move and everything would still the same and that I'm going to agree to losing my weekends with the kids so that she could still have 50/50 split custody.

I guess a man has rights too huh?

Thanks again everyone.
Well...I hope you were at least honest with us that the current custody is truly 50/50....because our answers were based on that.

The only other alternative to offer her, is you get 1,3,4th weekends & Mom gets
1st & 5th ....it means Mom typically only has one weekend, except in the long months. I don't know if she'll agree to it or not, but some parents do.
Try he gets 1, 3 and 4th and mom gets typically 2nd and 5th weekends. Either that or by what you are saying they argue over 1st weekends. But quite frankly he will most likely get every other.

I agree with Silver. YOU LIED TO US? Good grief. I am so sick of people who lie or mislead. Hope it was worth it. You would have gotten honest answers no matter how you posted but the fact you lied is leaving a sour taste and I will not help you in the future. And I will encourage other Seniors not to help you.

Ohiogal - I posted this a while back and no one could give me a straight answer so I had to spin it differently to get a different take on it. As soon as there were responses I was right up front so sorry if you feel differently. Thanks anyway for your help.

And yes I have 50/50 split joint custody.

Just my opinion

This is just my opinion but have you thought about talking with your ex about you moving?? Maybe if he's a decent person and you explain that it will benefit you and the children he will say for everything to continue the way it's going or has been going. If your only moving an hour away that in my opinion wouldn't be so bad. Maybe you could work something out too as far as the kids school or maybe you can relocate them to a school that is in the middle so it's convient for everyone. Just a thought :)

Shhhhhh... you cannot just decide to enroll children in ANY school district you see fit. It doesn't work that way. It is not that bad? It disrupts a lot of things. A weekly scheduled cannot take place when they live an hour away unless the parent moving wants to transport the children to school every morning. And it is not dad that is moving. It is his ex wife.

i think

any Marine would have done the same thing, sddad.

what can not be gone around, under or attacked straight on must be circumvented in some fashion.

temporary re-alignment of truth in the quest for a just cause sometimes comes under the umbrella of counter intelligence. (i wish i could spell)

and you did come clean so i respect that.

but geeeezzz guy! don't make a habit of it!
