hello I am looking for some advice or just reassurance to know I'm not the only one in this boat.

I currently share my daughter 50/50 but have recently got married and we have to chance to move away with my husband being in the army to live on patch.
myself and my other half have gone over ways we can keep contact at its most with flying my Ex over and making sure my daughter comes back to her home town on some weekends and most holidays and inbetween use Skype.

however I know my Ex will not let this happen without a fight and my daughter is not at an age to understand fully. This is not me taking her away from her dad or stopping contact it's purely circumstances have changed and I believe this is a good opportunity for us both.

she is very outgoing and confident so I don't worry she won't make any friends etc. we have gone there on holidays and she enjoys herself.

so my question is what do people think the chances of this being agreed in court? and if you have any advice for me going forward.

thanks in advance.

This is not me taking her away from her dad

Well it is though.

I think you will have a fight on your hands.

So you are taking his daughter away and is surprised that he isn't just going to let you without a fight?

I'd be devastated if I was your child's dad. Sorry that's not helpful Sad

It's a 50/50 choice. Is the child in school? She needs to stay with either of you. Whichever offers the least disruption has the advantage.
