Moving away from ex

I have residency of our two sons.

And I've the opportunity to move back near my family and to a better job, about 300 miles.
This would restrict access to the children for my ex but I'm sure we could work something out.

Both DC want to go.

Would it be unreasonable to move?

i think people can not comment unless they know what it feels like to be away from close family, i moved 180 miles to be with my partner, we had 2 children which are now only 2 and 4 (4 year old has autism), he hardly helped with children and went out when he felt like it for hours and hours, even overnight leaving me to cope alone, now we have split he is going to try and stop me moving back to my family through the court, i am so lonely and i believe that the happier mum is the happier the children

if you were willing to help him see your children (maybe he could see them at your house) i can not see it being a problem he could still see them every other week (unless that is too costly) and your children want to move too

my ex has just announced he may be moving to hong kong to work (in other words he has had an offer and is seroulsy thinking about it)

i am devestated for ds, it is going to break his heart he will only see his dad every few months rather than ever week it is not possible to see him more. my poor baby :( :( (sorry not trying to hijack)
