Let me get this straight..,  you all are suggesting that OP essentially leave her husband and separate her other kids from their dad because it’s not fair for her ex that she has to move?  Get real people. I don’t know what fantasy land you are all living in but no court would ever require that.

How do we know military dad is deploying?  I realize the military does deploy but there are millions of people in the military and not all of them are in tradional deployment positions where they are “oceans” away for long periods of time.

Is the dad going to pay for any of the extra expenses associated with OP essentially maintaining two homes and flying her other kids back and forth to go see their dad?  It’s for his benefit that she is becoming the equivalent of a single mom so he should contribute to the increased costs.

The two reasonable options are that mom moves and takes kid or mom moves and leaves kid here. A court cannot not consider a possible future move, only the actual move in question and whether it is in the best interests of the child.

I’d go with your kid’s preference at this age.  If everything else is equal (it may not be), that’s what a court would probably rely on on anyway since the other factors are not decisive.  It is possible a court would order an evaluation by a psychologist or guardian ad litem or something along those lines.
