[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d offer to drive 30 minutes (a total of one hour of round trip driving for you) for each pick up and drop off because it makes you look like a team player who isn’t throwing up roadblocks to visitation, but at the same time, I’d suggest an alternative visitation schedule that is less disruptive to your kids’ extracurricular activities and requires less travel, but gives Dad the same amount of time. Maybe he gets them one weekend a month, plus a long stretch in the summer, plus a good chunk of spring break and a few days between Christmas and New Years’s, even if you have Christmas.[/quote]

I agree. Seems like 30 minutes driving might equal the 25 miles (half of the 50 miles in your agreement). Have the children spoken to him directly (without you) expressing their desire that he stay close? Maybe they should. This is their life, they aren’t baskets being handed off back and forth.[/quote]

+1 to this - OP, the choice is not you agree to 50% or mediation/court where you may lose. Negotiate with him. Make sure it's in writing. Remember, the burden is ON HIM to make the case that he wants to move and change the 50 mile rule and that you should be forced to support that. That's a high bar. Go talk to your lawyer.[/quote]
