Or she is disappointed her dream of a DC law partner husband didn't pan out and is willing to punish him by leaving him and keeping his kids, all while expecting a pretty penny in support. |
He is the one who wants a divorce. |

OP disappeared. (Troll.)
OP - please answer. Are you leaving your husband? If not, don’t you want to live with him? |
The OP says he said he’s filing for divorce. Not if she doesn’t move to TX. Just period. |
No, he says he will divorce her if she doesn't agree to move to TX by next summer. Why should her pay for a non-working spouse to stay in DC for a year? Sounds like he is the one who is trying to find a compromise. |
| *he not her |
No. Do not do this. File where you currently reside, and ask the courts permission to relocate to CA where you have free housing and family support. Do not do anything without a courts permission, unless its a VACATION with a return ticket. |
|
Why should OP be afraid of her husband. She doesn't need his damn permission for anything. OP, if you have a strong support system, just move home, live with your family. Start over.
HE ABANDONED HIS CHILDREN BY MOVING TO TEXAS. |
That’s not what the OP says? It says he’s filing either way but claims he will get custody if she visits CA. |
Usually I would agree with this but if she can’t get that order before her lease is up she’s gotta go to CA or else be homeless. And given the less favorable TX law OP should under no circumstances move to TX and subject herself to TX jurisdiction. |

You need to reply back:
“I understand that you do not give me permission to go to California, so we are canceling our trip. I also want to notify you that I do not give you permission to take the children to Texas. Please acknowledge that until our divorce is finalized we both agree to not take the children out of state.” Then you need to file for temporary separation and get divorced. Once you get primary custody and finalize the divorce, THEN you can move to California. |
He moved for a job of which they all were supposed to move to TX with him. She is keeping the kids from him by agreeing to move and now refusing. |
Wrong, this can backfire and her refusing to let the kids go to visit dad can have her lose custody. She may not get primary custody. She still has to get court permission to move. There is far more to the story but its probably fake. |
That's what it sounds like to me. Does anyone really blame him for threatening divorce? |
| OP, if you plan to stay in DC, you need to downsize big time to a much cheaper apartment and get a job. |
