Here's the situation. A year ago, my ex and her husband relocated to Colorado with my two sons 12, 15. Husband originates from Colorado. I fought the relocation which went to trial. Basically came down to a custody battle. I didn't prevail. Washington law gives a presumption of rights to move. Economics reasons and career were her premise. In reality, the principle motive was control.
Because of my prior involvement with my boys, I was granted liberal visitation: 8 weeks summer, most/shared school breaks and three-day weekends (when no break occurs during that month). Travel expenses are split in half.
I'm missing them terribly despite the move. Current terms are not enough for me. I saw only "two' of their football games. They were here, I never missed a practice.
I'm contemplating a move to CO...but at what risk is the question. The trial totally wiped out available assets sans my retirement.
Ex is extraordinarily obstinate, self-centered, and will fight over the least trivial details.
If I move to Colorado, will I have to negotiate another Parenting Plan, Child Support, and grief all over again? This took a year to figure out for the relocation with attorneys.
Does anyone out there have advice?
