[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awful as it is, it’s probably good that you’re heading to mediation. This new arrangement is going to create more issues than just driving. Hopefully a mediator will be helpful in reaching an arrangement that is more palatable to your kids, especially the oldest. This really sucks for them. [/quote]

Totally agree this move sucks for the kids. Especially these ages when they have social lives, extracurriculars, and maybe even jobs to handle on the weekends[/quote]

Its two weekends a month/4 days.  Stop being so dramatic.  Kids see their Dad twice a month for 4 days total.  They have plenty of other days to do that stuff.[/quote]

You’re dense or don’t have teenagers. The kids are in school and activities during the week. Their dad is trying to monopolize 50% of their free time a month. That sucks. This is why divorce has a negative impact on kids. I would never have my teenager curtail their social life on weekends to force them to spend time with me. Hell, I’m married to my teen’s father and we don’t see DC half the weekend because he’s out doing stuff.[/quote]
+1. Dad wants to move and this isn't a big deal, HE can rent a place and come stay in the teens' hometown two weekends of the month to see them. There is no reason they should have to totally rearrange their lives for a grown man's convenience and pleasure. None. And I am sure you agree with me it is not a big deal for him to do this for four days a month, right? Clearly the exH is the drama king here. So sorry you and your kids are dealing with this, OP. I hope for your and your kids' sake you get a sensible judge and not a "men's rights" activist like PP.[/quote]

He does not need to rent a place.  Kids are to spend time with Dad.  It’s 4 days.  It will not kill then.  The issue is transportation.  Yes I have teens and they are in daily activities.  Family cones first.  They have 26-28 other days in the month. [/quote]

If family came first, Dad wouldn’t be moving away for a woman and turning his kids’ lives upside down. It will not kill DAD to come to their town for 4 days, right?[/quote]
