Splitting up-I want to move out of the area

Relationship is ending after 10 years. We have 2 children together and I have one from a previous relationship.
I was very unhappy in the relationship. I was invisible, ignored and very much taken for granted. I cracked and kissed another man. I confessed all and subsequently this ended our farce of a relationship.
I’m now faced with moving out of our home. Everything is in his name.
My question is this, if I want to move approximately 40-50mins away, can I do so? He’s threatening to take me to court to apply for full custody!
I want a new start. The area we live in isn’t that nice. We have a caravan(which I’ll have to sell-i own that) in the area I’d like to move to and I don’t want the children to lose out on spending time in the countryside. It’s a much better life for them

i think in the future, if youve managed to retain an amicable relationship, then it will be easier to move slightly out of area when emotions arent running so high.

It will only be easier to move out of the area if the childcare arrangements you come to allow it.

If you share care 50/50 for example it won't be practical for you to move away and keep that arrangement. Obviously this is even more the case if the kids stay with him.

Have you agreed anything with the kids father yet?

That needs to be your #1 priority before you even consider moving out/away.

I’m going to start looking for a job that fits around school times. Then I’ll take it from there
