We actually live in NC and they are moving from PA to TX.
Here's what we have placed before her to think about.
She gets the kids every Thanksgiving.
Christmas to be alternated: she gets odd years we get even years starting from the first day of vacation to the last day of vacation.
She gets them every Spring/Easter break.
We get them for 5 wks in the summer
~~ Since she is the one moving from one state to another all over the USA she should pay 75% of the airfare and DH pay 25% of the airfare. If they chose to drive she should drive 75% of the way and dh should drive 25%.
I looked at a couple airlines, looks like it would be easier to fly and by far cheaper to fly them. I just hope that she agrees to this.
BTW this was emailed to her so when we go to court (if for nothing else then to make it a court order instead of a verbal/written agreement) it can be proved that we are working on making this work not trying to start a battle every chance we get.
Thankfully where we live still holds jurisdiction of the children's cases.
