[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- Thanks for all your constructive advice.

Interestingly, where the ex moved is closer to our family and friends. In fact, prior to our split I had spent my time renovating that house in the hope to downsize and live there.  That area is closer to the city and has many young families, which I thought would be better for our child. The schools are slightly lower in ratings but still decent schools (QO vs Blair)

I am going to get everything settled and get my kid through elementary school and then reevaluate.

I know that proximity won’t make someone a better parent but I do think he would spend more time with kid if we were closer.

I’m interested to see how the courts will view our custody arrangement. If you have amicably agreed to a custody arrangement where one parent has so much more time will a judge ask the other parent about the circumstances or why they aren’t fighting for more time?

It sounds like you wanted to live in that area and were intending to relocate before the divorce.  If so, it's not crazy to move.  Don't move for him, but if that's where you want to live longterm and it just happens to be closer to him, then go ahead.  You don't need to wait just to pretend you aren't following him.  You are allowed to choose to live closer to the city, near family and friends, and in a smaller house that fits your needs better, if that's what you'd prefer.[/quote]
