[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grateful if someone has an answer to the following.
Suppose I’m divorced with 50% custody of children.
Does that mean I’m forever tied to the location job-wise where my husband is also located? 
That is, I can’t accept overseas job offers as that would effectively prevent his 50% custody?

Neither of you can move. Unless you are willing to give up a lot of custody, or the way it is scheduled is drastically rearranged (which also sucks for the kids). It has to do with where the children's lives are based and how established they are at this point in their community and location. How old are your kids? I'm assuming they are not babies/toddlers and they are in school? Would they want to be uprooted to go live overseas? I'm assuming no.

Having a judge approve a relocation that includes taking the kids with you in a divorce/split custody situation is not common. The bar is very high to prove how/why that would be beneficial to the children. You also have to show that you absolutely cannot find other suitable employment where you currently live.

You can accept overseas job offers without ramifications when your children are grown and living on their own.

No, you do not have to prove there’s no suitable employment offers in the present locale. What the heck….

You talk it out and paper it up Op. mature adults can do that . If he wants to be controlling and a jerk he will be. If he thinks he’s a fantastic care giver, teacher, coach and parent, he’ll have tons of examples and pitch for more custody.  Or you can.

You can go to custody court any time and as many times as you wish. [/quote]
