[quote=Anonymous]This exact scenario happened to my brother. He and DW met and lived in suburban area and she later wanted to move "home" to another suburban area that was 5 hours away. He did not want to, and when he finally came around months later very reluctantly, she said she felt rejected and asked for a divorce.

Be forewarned that if you move there and divorce, you will have to stay there if you want to see your kids. My x-SIL wanted to take the kids there without him on a "vacation" after announcing that she wanted to separate, and his friends and family intervened and asked him to see a lawyer ASAP. She was going to take them there, enroll them in school, and file, so that the legal jurisdiction would be there. The lawyer said the best thing he could do was file for divorce, which he did not want to do. But, he also did not want to uproot their lives and jobs. It was agonizing.

A Marriage Story on Netflix had the same scenario too, but they moved to the state the wife wanted. [/quote]
