So I was wondering couple OH stop me from moving 40 miles away with DD?

I certainly wouldn’t ever stop him from seeing DD, for either one of their sakes.. but I worry that if he gets nasty and wants to take me to court that he'll request overnights stays or 50/50 contact. I’m not opposed to the overnight stays when she is a bit older (I am thinking 12-18 months) as right now I am bf don’t think it would work she is already having a hard time going onto the bottle (by hard time I mean flat out refusing) so the only way I can see this going is him stopping me from going even though I wouldn’t be able to rent here.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of situation or know anyone that does?

I moved 35 miles away, ended up keeping to an old court order and driving 500 miles every week to stick to it. Move, make realistic plans for your dd. A life in the car constantly is rubbish for her and you. Your ex will not share the travel whatever he promises.

40 miles in London and SE could be an hour away or 3 hours away in travel time one way outside rush hour.

I suggest rather than concentrating solely on the distance work out how long it would take your ex to get to you via different means of transport. If it's then about an hour away you can argue that it isn't an unreasonable distance.
