[quote=Anonymous]We live in Fairfax County. While xDH did leave equity in home to me, and I’ve refinanced in my name, I’ve realized that paying mortgage and all the upkeep that will be needed to maintain the home over the coming years is going to eventually either put me in the red or at least make it really hard to keep up a good savings cushion.
I want to sell home and move to a cheaper area out further west where I have friends, about an hour away from where we are now. I have a very secure job that is mostly telework.
Can I do this? I will have primary custody. XDH is going to be traveling for work most of the next 3 years but he says I have to stay in home with kids and if I try to move them somewhere else he will sue for custody. Mostly I think he just wants to stick it to me and watch me suffer financially. Currently he does not have his own place. 
There aren’t many more affordable housing options in Fairfax County. If I did find something cheaper in Fairfax county, the school and neighborhood would be so different that it might as well be in another state. It makes more sense to me to move out further into a more affordable area especially if XDH is not going to be around much anyway. 
He has no family in this country. I have family, but they live far away and wouldn’t be able to help much even if we lived close. 
He says he would cancel his travel in order to keep the kids here but I think he is bluffing. He’s an asshole dad, not good at managing the kids, he is especially  hard on our DS. FCPS certainly isn’t worth sticking around for. [/quote]
