My partner's ex is moving to a town over 1 hour away from where they live now.
My partner has the children every weekend Friday to Sunday.

She has a new partner who she will be moving in with. The kids will be changing schools and their family from both sides in the the area they live now.
Access will now be eow due to move.

Kids are 4 and 6

I'm just wondering if my partner has a chance to stop this or would it make things worst with their relationship? He's gutted he's not going to see his them as he's always had weekly access unless mum stopped it. Which recently she hasn't.

My partner won't be able to attend any school things as the school won't know him etc. Also the cost of travel.

It's only an hour away. If he tries to stop her moving he will incur her eternal enmity. He's moved on with you. Wish her well and let her do the same.

Can I ask why access can't stay at every weekend. One hour isn't very far to drive.

An hour is doable. Would she meet you half way so you both only drive an hour on Friday and Sunday xx

She's said ewo week now. Well she's saying he's to pick up and drop off, coz it's every other week instead of every week.

I think he's worrying more so coz she's been in a relationship before where she had their christened but didn't even tell him or even invite him. She even got the eldest to call him (new man) dad. I guess he feels like she's pushing him out of their life.

He is struggling with money and he told her that but she's not bothered just said if he wants to see them he will.

ohamIreally yes I thought that to, they don't get on as it is tbh and will only make things worse. Partoner said said his child said that they are moving closer to school so they aren't late all the time. So she hasn't even told the kids yet they are moving over an hour away and won't see their dad every weekend.

I understand everyone has a right to move on and my partner doesn't want to make the trouble for her and the kids she's made for us but also doesn't want to look like he's not bothered. She is one of them that would say will you didn't fight for them kinda person.

We just have to hope she isn't trying to replace him as a dad and also hope she doesn't stop contact in the future
