I am sooo glad I found this forum! I went through my divorce without much support- well, not from people who might actually know what they are talking about anyway.
Okay, my question;
My XW and I share joint custody of two young children, we do the 3/4/4/3 split thing. She makes a lot more money than I do, so she pays me child support and maint since I was the primary care giver prior to the divorce. The divorce was only finalized a month ago, and now she is already talking about how she thinks her company is sinking and she might have to find another job and relocate. If she moves to another state, what are my options? She was awarded educational decision making rights for the children. If she moves, could she insist that the children go to a school near her, thus requiring them to move to her new city/state? Where would this leave me? On the other side of the coin, I was awarded "de facto" religious education of the children, so in this scenario could I turn the tables and insist that they stay put so they can attend church meetings? Or would these factors not even be part of the issue? I worry about her alienating me from my kids. They are already starting to make comments which show this to be the case- and she is just smart enough to do it in subtle ways which will make it difficult for me to prove.
We all currently reside in Colorado.
Thanks!
