What does the custody arrangement say about moving? Are you divorced or never married? Is there any legal document separating the two of you and setting in place a custody arrangement?

Usually if someone moves, the person moving does the transportation in less otherwise agreed upon. In less you have a court order baring you from moving, yes you can move but then you will need to share in transportation. Talk to an attorney if you are concerned.

Also, depending on the state you're in, ex would have had to have gotten permission to move if it's more than a certain number of miles away. You need to speak with a lawyer.

We just started the custody process. He's been delaying and stalling now I know why.

Since he moved away I would ask that he do transportation both ways.

You have to drive as far as you negotiate with him or a judge orders. (I am thinking that's doubtful a judge will get involved because custody cases cost a fortune for both parties.)

What's he proposing?
What would you like?

We all ready have court process. He up and moved. But still wants shared custody

What do you mean, court process? Is there an agreement filed with the court or a court order? Can you afford an attorney, if only for an hour consult so you can get a sense of how this might play out? Did he move to another state? (Sorry if that last question was answered earlier.)

I feel for you.

You can share custody, but he can do the transporting since he up and moved without a good plan or telling people up front. It will get harder for school but depending on how far he can transport daily. If he's 30 minutes away, its much more doable than an hour.

Then let him figure it out. Offer weekend and holiday visits if he transports and let him visit if he is in town. If you moved away, you should provide the transportation. If he moves, he provide. If you both move, share. Be flexible and offer as that will make you look better to the court. He probably will not do his visits if he was that secretive about moving.

How is he going to share custody when he lives several hours away? He should only get them every other weekend, tops.

What a dick. Your poor kids.
