This is not true. OP, you should talk to an attorney if you might want to keep open this possibility.

I was told that I could move if I got remarried, or got a better job elsewhere, or even if I needed to move closer to family. My ex could take me back to court to protest it, but I would win. I have joint custody, and I am the primary custodial caretaker.

Do NOT get advice from here. Talk to an attorney. Two attorneys gave me the same information - don't believe that you can never leave. Don't let that language go into any divorce agreement.

And remember, Everything is Negotiable. Everything.

Your attorney gave you bad advice. He has no way of knowing how a judge would rule on your case. Most judges would rule that it would be best for the children to see both children regularly.

No, multiple attorneys all gave me the same sound advice.

I guess I should add that I actually am moving, more than 200 miles away. My three children are moving with me.  :) All finalized.

OP, go and talk to three attorneys at least. They will give you definitive answers. And even though their answers will basically be the same, they will approach the situation from different angles sometimes, and that can be so helpful as you move forward.

Good luck to you. Also, you can check out surviving infidelity.com, divorce forum, for more stories from people who have been through this. Lots of people there have moved from one place to another after divorce. In fact, ten years after a divorce, it's rare to see a family situation that looks like the divorce agreement. People get new jobs, remarried, have babies with new wives, go bankrupt - all sorts of things happen in life. Things change, and you can't always stay in one place.

Your poor kids. Is their father really so awful that you would have them separated from him full time?

Maybe it can be done, but in most cases it shouldn't be.[/quote]

If it's because of a better job or to be near her family then it sounds like a great idea. No ex has the right to dictate where the other lives.  My friend moved to another state to be closer to her family, the court approved it and they redid the visitation etc.  All good.[/quote]
