[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you had this problem, what was the resolution?
Talk your spouse into letting you pursue your career somehow?
My DH was not that much into being family mane anyway… so I am hoping he won’t mind if we agree on visit-travel schedules several times a year…

If your ex-husband has 50% custody, he is an involved Dad and it would be terrible to take them from him.  A few visits a year isn't enough for the kids to have a relationship with their Dad.

You leave the kids with Dad and move.  You get visitations and/or travel to see them.  Problem solved.[/quote]

I can’t do that… he is an absentee dad and goes nuts if he babysits too much. [/quote]

Then maybe he would be happy to have the kids live with you and see them. If they come back for Xmas and summers and he goes several times a year to visit you, there can be a fair amount of contact.  If he’s as disinterested a father as you say, he’ll be interested in working out a deal as long as it saves him face, i.e. still makes him look like a good dad.

The problem is, if you get the job, and you aren’t able to take it, you will look foolish professionally.
