Is it more important that DC live close to their father or..

.. A couple of hours away where we could afford to buy a house and the schools are better?

You're making some quite obnoxious assumptions about the OP Boney none of which are justified on the basis of this thread.

Lunar it's up to the children, the ex and the OP. It's certainly not up to you to lay the law down. The OP's in a difficult position.

Is he a good dad and a reasonable ex? If so, I wouldn't. The only circumstances where I would would be where he was an indifferent parent (his choice) or he was making my life a misery.

*Well I'd say he has several choices

• to give you more money so you can afford to buy/private school the child that needs it
  

• move nearer to where you are going
  

• deal with the travelling*
  

I'm sorry but the father doesn't need to do any of this, if the OP moves then she has to suck up travelling more etc, not him.

I am not making assumptions about the OP at all, I have plotted a possible route of things that may happen.

I realise that you and others may think that these things will never happen.

But think of all the things that you have missed once and justified, then missed again and again, the premise is exactly the same.
