Moving location with children

[Highrise88]

Hi,
My husband last year walked out on me and his three daughters for OW. I don’t think things have worked out how he wanted with OW and he lives at home with his parents.
The situation is not very amicable.

I moved to Huddersfield with my husband his home town. I am wanting to go move back to my home town 2 hours away to be with my family. I am so isolated here and really want to move.
I have a feeling that it isn’t as easy as they and my husband would be able to stop me? I feel so trapped.

He could only stop you by a court order

He has rich parents who would fight for a court order. I would be moving to be with my family, job prospects I would do the travelling for him to have the kids every other weekend like now.

Just move. He would have to get an order to have you move back. Given your reasons he would be wasting his time. Does he support them financially? Does he do drop offs and pick ups now? How invested is he in their school life? Some authorities need both dp's to sign a school transfer but not all..

I would do the travelling for him to have the kids every other weekend

He's the one who left you in the lurch, so why should you be the one who has to travel? Presumably if he hadn't left, you'd still be OK living in Huddersfield.

I second other posters - just move. Sounds like you could do with the support at the moment. Good luck

An acquaintance split with her DH then got a job in the area she wanted to move to. He took her to court but she was allowed to go with the child.
