[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still op.  Another option is to land that offer fast and leave and that will be out one year separation as grounds for divorce.
I just really don’t know how he is going to act.  I think public opinion is important to him and that’s why he might try to make it hard.  He looks like a perfect dad in the eyes of the community and immediate family, but it’s a sham.[/quote]

If you take your kids out of the country without the other parent’s approval, he can report it as kidnapping and you are never getting a full custody of your kids. Don’t even think about that. I’d suggest you start being nice to your husband (even if you have to pretend) and perhaps start talking about a temporary opportunity overseas, amazing schools for the kids, of course coming back home frequently. Get a legal paper from him signed that you can take children with you out of the country for as long as you have a job…and don’t file for divorce! Once you are settled in a new country it will be easier to claim that uprooting them and sending them back to US will be against their best interest. I would talk to a lawyer for sure before make any moves, one mistake and you are out.[/quote]

I'm amazed OP that you think your kids will forgive you for this down the road.  He may not be a 50% dad or an awesome dad or whatever, but he is their dad and unless he is abusive your kids want him in their lives.  You don't have the right to essentially end their relationship with their dad by moving them overseas. You are awful and selfish. Sorry, this is the big downside of divorce, this is why so many of us stick it out in meh marriages, you don't get to have it all and screw your kids dad / someone you used to love in the process[/quote]
