[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever talked to an adult child of divorce about this? I have not, but as an ACOD myself I would have loved for my parents to have 50/50. [b]My dad moved out of state so we got summers at his place and school years at my mom's place. It sucked. No matter where I was, I missed one of my parents terribly[/b]. [/quote]
I really think this kind of arrangement should be outlawed and divorced parents should be required to live within an hour of each other until the child turns 18[/quote]

Talk about something that will never be enforceable.[/quote]
It would be easy to enforce, if a parent moves out of the radius they get a $25,000 fine every year until they are in compliance.[/quote]

So, you think someone in the military or government job should be fined $25K a year, when they may only make $100K a year, or if enlisted much less?  How would that work with child support and alimony?[/quote]
Yes, The child's needs take priority above all else and a heavy fine would act as a powerful motivation to meet those needs.[/quote]

What if it is the mother moving away to be with her AP?  Or, military?  You realize military have no say in where they live or go.[/quote]
They shouldn't have an AP in the first place and divorcing with children should result in a dishonorable discharge.[/quote]

What if it was the wife who had the AP and moved with the kids to live with the AP?  So, Dad should get dishonorably discharged because his wife had an affair?  What about child support and alimony then?  Not all military jobs translate to good jobs outside so how much do you think he'd make beyond minimum wage?[/quote]

How about giving her consequences like no alimony or no portion of his retirement?[/quote]
