[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't contemplate it for myself because my job options here are better than they are close to family, but sure it happens. One of my single mom friends just moved for a better job/lower cost of living and her ex packed up and moved to the same place. This is the 2nd time he's done it. His job is flexible and she makes a lot more money than him, so he recognizes that supporting her career advancement is the best thing for their daughter.

I also know plenty of people who live in a different place than their ex and they make custody work. It's not ideal, but no situation is going to be.

I don't think you have much to lose in proposing it as an idea (perhaps with the help of a mediator). Worst case he says no, and you table the idea. [/quote]

Sounds like the situations you've heard about are where both parties agree and of course if both parties are in agreement then it can happen.  I took OP's question to be whether she can get a judge to approve this arrangement over her DH's objection and I really doubt that's going to happen unless, for whatever reason, OP is able to get almost the entirety of the custody time (i.e. he gets every other weekend).

If he has a lawyer I doubt he would agree to this though unless he was also moving.  You are at a substantial disadvantage in custody situations for many reasons when you are the party that lives far away from the children.[/quote]
