Seperation with two parents in different countries

My husband and I separated two years ago, with one of us in England and other in Scotland. We are trying to work out child care arrangements and have both been for legal advice. Does anyone have any advice or in a similar situation being in two different countries. The children want to see their Dad, just now sure how we can really do this without one of us travelling all the time.

Handovers halfway? The children could spend part of the school holidays and half terms with their dad so the Dc could have some solid time with him. Would he not move to be nearer the DC and maintain the relationship?

Thank you, I am sure we will agree on the holidays and long weekends, it is just the normal weekends in between where I think will be hard, especially on the DC. For us too as we will have to either travel up or down and spend the weekend somewhere to then return on the Sunday.

We don't do weekends in between. We did EOW until he moved, but now it's longer in holidays for him. It is not feasibly possible with the drive to do it after work on the Friday anyway, plus dd HATES being stuck in the car for so long. He can FaceTime when he wants but rarely bothers. He texts her every few days.
