Seeing children over distance

[ragnarson]

Looking for advice or experiences.
Nice and short, my partner lives a little over an hour away with her children. My children (m15 f13)see me at my house every other weekend. Talking our future over with my partner we will want to live together and I can't work out how to integrate my children into this scenario. Moving isn't an option for my partner and I only rent.
How would I maintain meaningful contact with them if I move to be with my partner when there isn't the room for overnight stays.

You wont. If you move away to a place your children can't stay, you won't maintain a relationship with them unless find somewhere for them everyweekend.
If you move to be with your partner in such a way that they can't have the same contact, they will view it as you replacing them with her and it will really damage your relationship with them.
The phone/facetime isn't the same.
Move an hour away and go get them on your contact weekends is fine. Move an hour away and they can't stay is not OK.

Can you rent somewhere closes to your partner so you have space to keep the twice a month visits?

Your partner could move into the rented place with you and rent her own property out?

Would you booking a motel or something for yourself twice a month so at least you are still physically spending the two/three days you've always done with them?

I think the children will be hurt at you dropping contact like this and all I can say is I wouldn't move anywhere that meant my contact with my children had to be reduced or even stopped. I'd not be trying to integrate my children into my new relationships, my love life would be integrating into my commitments and responsibilities to my children.

In a couple of years when the children at 16 and 18 you might find they don't want to come and stay overnight as much, would you be willing to continue as you are and review in a few years about you moving away?
