Moving closer to ex?

Probably a little bit different from the usual posts but wondered if anyone had done this, I usually see posts about moving away from their ex but has anyone actually moved closer to their ex so they can help more with the children/ be more present and involved? I live about 2 hours from my ex and wondering if I should move closer? It would be good if we was closer and he could be more involved as atm contact is difficult. I have no issues moving to ex and don't like where I live anyway so that's not an issue however it's a council house so moving won't be easy as would need to be by mutual exchange. Has anyone moved closer to their ex and did it help with contact? If we lived closer he could do the school run etc. him moving here isn't an option.

That sounds very sensible!

No personal experience, but I know at least one family who have done this. It sometimes creates more tension for them as there are more last minute childcare arrangement changes, but on the whole I understand it’s been really positive for the kids involved knowing both parents are still fairly close to hand.
