Hi all, sorry I have not updated in while. I have retained a great atty, we are currently filing a RO and MTM and going for there. I am looking for three things:

1) Get the past 3 years of "status-quo" into the agreement. This gives me the Boys Mon-Wed at 630pm and EOW with Sundays on weekend being overnight. It ends up being a modified 5/5/2/2 plan

2) Anchor my boys to the school district as long as one parent lives here.

3) Change of primary residential to me (this one might be a reach). I am willing to compromise and state that if one parent moves, the parent that remains automatically becomes the primary.

I meet next tuesday to sign the paperwork.

To answer some of the questions:

• I have joint legal and residential custody
• She has primary residency for school purposes.

That is the plan so far. I just have an initial consult with an attorney to discuss the case. I want to wait until my son starts school in 4 weeks so that she doesn't just try and move. I can't believe she actually thinks this is going to be ok to do.

First off thanks for this forum. Its been a good resource.

Here is my story. I have been happily divorced for almost 4 years, separated for over 5. I have remarried and have an amazing wife and a beautiful family. My ex and I share joint legal and residential custody of my two boys, 8 and 4 (we were divorced shortly after he was born). When I got divorced I moved about 60 miles north to Cleveland to be closer to my work. My ex decided that she wanted to move north as well since the boys could be with their parents together. Currently we live about 2 miles apart in the same school district and have for the last 3.5 years. My oldest has cub scouts, karate, and school all in this community. I have my sons every Mon-Wed eve, Fri-Sun every other weekend. So technically I have them more than her. 

My ex recently started dating a guy who lives about 85miles away. She informed me today that she is planning to move in with this guy next summer and she is taking the boys with her. This will essentially nullify the schedule we have now as I will not be able to be part of their lives during the school year since they will be almost an hour and half from my house. EDIT: I forgot to add that my ex's new beau does NOT have any children of his own.

What are my options? I have just contacted an attorney but I am doing my own research too.
