[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If his life isn’t together, why does he need to be on the opposite coast? Why can’t he fail locally?

Full summer with dad makes sense if dad has a place to live.

I’m worried that you are going to have primary custody and yet does seem to feel entitled to child support. I’m worried you don’t have a lawyer. I’m worried you’re letting emotions get in the way of getting a fair deal here.

I would not commit to you flying out there twice a year. That’s a lot.

How old is kid? I’ve sat next to unaccompanied minors as young as six and they were fine.[/quote]

One time we were on a flight halfway across the country that had to turn back around and land to let off a kid (with their sibling, both minors) who was having a medical or mental emergency. Not all minors are fine flying alone.

A young child shouldn't be flying alone.  This situation could have happened to anyone and the flight needed diverting.  Who ever is moving away should be the one flying the child back and forth and paying for it.  Simple.   If mom is moving cross country and taking child, it is her responsibility to bring the child back and forth to dad and make the relationship work.  Twice a year for a few days  is not a relationship.

Its funny people complain Dad's aren't involved but you read these posts and how many people are encouraging OP to not allow daily contact and only supervised visits 2 a year.  [/quote]
