[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids, 14 and 16. They are with me, the custodial parent, about 75-80% of the time. Ex and I live 10 minutes apart currently and have since the divorce.

My ex, the noncustodial parent, now wants to move 1.5 hours away (80 miles) for their significant other. Ex is proposing that we split all the driving time back and forth 50/50, as we currently do. I think because Ex is choosing to move far away, Ex should have to deal with all or most of the transport back and forth on their visitation  weekends.

We do have a court order saying neither parent can move more than 50 miles away, but I don’t think I can actually stop ex from moving - there will just have to be a new agreement negotiated. Advice? [/quote]

You are correct that it can’t stop him from moving. 50/50 over 80 mi won’t work with kids in school. Try mediation first. My XH moved 30 min further out and does 90% of the driving.[/quote]

Also, how did you get your ex to agree to do 90% of the driving? Was that something that was ultimately conceded during mediation?[/quote]

He did not agree. Mediation failed —which is why I say try it first. Ultimately, the judge told him that it was his choice to move. I only drive for a specific event that happens 10% of the days he has DC. [/quote]
