[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he never wanted to move before it seems impossible he'd agree now, after divorce.  I can't imagine you would be able to do it over his objections.  Also, you'd be taking them away from their dad.  A yard is great, but good relationship with their dad is probably more important.  Sorry, OP, I know that's difficult to hear.[/quote]

I didn't mean to take him away from them. I meant it that we all move. Maybe that a mediator would encourage the process, look at our finances and suggest that its in the best interest of the kids to go to a lower COL area. I mean this as it not just being about having a yard, but having money left over at the end of the month to do nice things for the kids, to have family support etc.

Clearly I have no idea how this works- haven't called an attorney or mediator yet as I indicated.[/quote]

How far do your parents live from his?   And how far is this from where you live now?   Are we talking a 2 hour drive?  Or a 6 hour plane ride?

Honestly, I doubt very much that even if you (or a mediator) could convince him it's in everyone's best interest to move to a lower cost of living area, that he'd want to move closer to your family.   He'd feel "out numbered."[/quote]
