[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awful as it is, it’s probably good that you’re heading to mediation. This new arrangement is going to create more issues than just driving. Hopefully a mediator will be helpful in reaching an arrangement that is more palatable to your kids, especially the oldest. This really sucks for them. [/quote]

Totally agree this move sucks for the kids. Especially these ages when they have social lives, extracurriculars, and maybe even jobs to handle on the weekends[/quote]

Its two weekends a month/4 days.  Stop being so dramatic.  Kids see their Dad twice a month for 4 days total.  [b]They have plenty of other days to do that stuff[/b].[/quote]

Tell that to the colleges that will be seeing on applications how the kid dropped out of many things.  Sure, you can write a supplementary essay explaining why but who knows if that would sway admissions.  The summer she was 16, my kid was a rising HS senior, and the ability to continue participating in activities and work/earn money was a big deal.  I'm not saying that the kids [b]shouldn't [/b]see their dad, but he really needs to be the one to make it work.  When he fathered them, he gave up the right to make decisions that benefit himself at their expense.[/quote]

Fixed my typo.[/quote]

We are talking Four days a month.  You are absurd.  You are getting child support.  Your kid should not be working that many hours and can arrange the Work schedule around visits. [/quote]

OP here: the above post is not mine. And I said nothing about child support, so I don’t know what that comment is about. My 16 year old doesn’t work that much (and hasn’t actually worked during the school year at all yet, but wants to eventually).

Ex is not going to get them to jobs/activities/friend’s houses on their weekend once the move occurs. That’s the problem. It isn’t financial.[/quote]
