To move 20 miles away as XP is making no effort with the DC

[LalasMama]

I left XP a couPle of months ago. My decision. I have stayed in the same town as XP so that he can see kids as often as he likes.

As it stands, I am struggling to get him to have them even one day a week. Still haven't received a penny in maintenance.

I would like to move back to my home town 20 miles away. I have been offered a good job there and would have plenty of help with the DC as my family live there.

WIBU to move the DC away from XP?

move 20 miles is nothing

Yanbu.

but what if it was 200 miles? its still reasonable for you to go

20 miles is nothing, I can't see any problem even if he was involved.

Move...be happy. Most actively involved parents wouldn't mind the 20 miles of driving...to be with their children....

Oh fgs, you can only talk to him through ex-MIL? What on earth is at about? Is he an adult?

Just move. 20 miles is a few minutes in a car. You're hardly making them inaccessible.
