Can I move our children away?

[CrazyCatLady00]

My kids dad keeps threatening court action as I’m moving our DC 2.5hrs away. He says he can stop me?

im moving to be near family so I will have that support and be able to give our DC a better life. I’ve always said that I’d never stop him seeing them but he is saying that I will break his bond with the DC, even though I’ve said he can have them all school holidays.

He works over 24/7 so weekends are not always an option.

AgingBadly Weird... I see a lot of posters more concerned with the mother's wishes than her children's welfare, and a lot of posters more concerned about what's best for the children than their parents' wishes. I see very few who are most concerned about the father's "rights".

I can see how you ended up in this position, but it's a real shame. I think it's colouring your view of everything else, unfortunately.

The problem is that once you have children with someone, you're pretty much stuck with them because (unless they have done something very dire indeed) anything else is not really in the children's best interests. As mentioned, I stayed put - but I have a couple of friends who have done the same. One in particular feels very isolated where she is, as all her extended family is 300 miles away. But she still can't bring herself to move the children from their schools and familiarity (one has significant ASD which would make a big change very difficult) - and, above all, their father.
