Parent relocation is contemplated in the UCCJEA followed by most states, with some modifications.

Since your kids are school age they obviously can’t attend two different districts week on week off. An hour long commute to and from school would be unreasonable and I can’t imagine your spouse could work that around his work schedule anyway. So unless he plans to challenge you for primary custody, he’ll likely have to relinquish his half time in favor of the weekends/holidays model. Unless she is free to move to where he lives.

THIS. This is the correct answer.

Reiterating that this is the correct answer.

I am a parent of a DC in the same age range of OP's kids and my attorney told me similar to the above if ex-spouse decided to move far away like that.

Were you worried for any specific reason? Did it end up happening?

Yes there was a specific reason, and no it hasn't happened...yet. But bottom line, if ex-spouse moves far away like that, there will be consequences (for ex-spouse) in terms of custody.

You are borrowing trouble. Who knows if they will even get engaged. If they do, deal with it then. Consult your attorney if you are worried.

For now there is nothing to do and worrying in advance doesnt solve anything.

My exh did this for a while - we have 3 kids in one town and his gf had 2 and she lived 45 mins away. They had plans to get married, etc. He never even considered the logistics until I brought up the challenges so I could be prepared since we shared 50/50.

They didn't last. Now he has a gf with college age kids.

NP here. This happened to me. It will cost you a ton of attorneys' fees if he decides to fight you. Try to work some of amicable solution. He's still their father and life goes on.
