Do you think he thinks it'll be cheaper than paying alimony and/or child support? What's his motivation?
Not paying alimony.
There’s a non-zero chance he could bait and switch to split custody and reduce child support.

My perspective is how do we make joint decision without joint future interest. To me looks like he’s in it until college at the latest. His perspective is even so I’d be better off than I am now.
This makes no sense. So he acknowledges that he has no interest in being with you after the kids go to college?
>No he doesn’t say this that’s just what it looks like to me given these terms.
So he moved away from them and now he wants you to move them to him so he can spend more time with them before they leave the house?
