Really in a pickle.  Divorced 3 years ago.  Moved back in together shortly after.  Didn't work out but, my ex and the children have been living in an apartment down the street for the last 2 years.  They are doing really well in school and settled into their sports and activities.  My ex's mother is the co-signer for the apartment.  She is refusing to sign the lease again in order to force my ex and the children to move in with them.  That means they would have have to be taken out of their current school and move about 30-40 minutes away.

I currently have 1 overnight during the school year and two during the summer per the order.  However, their mother and I have been in a relationship and I have had complete access to the children and we haven't been following the order.  I have been picking them up from school and very involved in their lives.  I rent a one bedroom down the street from them and have not exercised my overnights because of this.  The cost of living is such that it's almost impossible for me to rent a place that I can have 3 children in (14, 10 and 7).  So as you see things have been working well.

Though their mother and I have been in a relationship I acknowledge she isn't someone I could ever live with.  Been there done that.  I'm just concerned I will not be able to have my overnights after the move.  I wish there was something I could do to stop the move but I feel at a loss.  I can co sign the lease as I just got my credit score moving since the divorce.  Is my only option to let the move occur and settle for visitation?

Custody Issues / Wife Trying To Move
Feb 08, 2012, 05:26:09 PM
OK here is the situation.  I have had my first hearing.  I am at 25% custody.  My wife comitted DV and was removed from the home initially but has now been givin the home back since our first hearing.  She actually doesn't want the home but is using it strategically so as to establish custody.  Her ultimate goal is to move the kids out of state to her parents house.  She has already told the courts I can have my car and the home but she has petitioned for full costody so she can move.  I have always been a very involved parent and have a strong bond with the children.  The problem is the are she wants to move to would force me to sale a home that was build brand new 2 yrs ago in order to move closer to my children.  Would a court actually let her do this?  This just doesnt seem allowable to me :/
