I have been divorced since 2007 and have picked up my 4 kids (girl turning 18, girl 14, girl 12, and boy 8) for the last 7 years every other weekend without skipping a beat. I have also paid my child support without missing a payment. My oldest child turn 18 in july and she is due to come off my child support obligation (will remian in the area attending College) and Mom said she wants to keep the child support the same for another 2 years like if I am paying for 4 kids and move to Arizona in July as well.

I have always been there for my children and have always lived to my obligations as a father. I always felt that the kids needs both parents in their life and I have such a connection with them that it will tear me into pieces if they move away almost 3,000 miles. Especially, in a point in their lives that they need a father figure more than ever. She claims she needs help from her parents (live in Arizona) but I feel her parents raised their chrildren and rasing my children is my and her responsibility not her parents.

She has never worked since our divorce and claims she is unable to find a job. My question is why did she wait so long and when the chid support is due to be reduce for her to come up with this excuse of not being able to find a job. I dont know what I can do or if have any options. please help. Worried Dad
