DP's ex is moving, a significant distance away.
This has been an on going battle and DP has given up fighting it as it is making everyone miserable. Personally I don't agree and say court is the answer but, he doesn't want that.
Either way, it doesn't make too much difference to me, it's not my life/my child.
However my concern is, he thinks he's got it all agreed that if he consents to this X, Y and Z will happen. However I am pretty certain she will agree to/say whatever he wants to hear to get him to agree, then when there things will change.
DC will be unlikely to want to visit due to travel distance too often, but there are other DC here that have different contact arrangements too that have to be accommodated. Has said ex needs to do the driving due to them wanting the move and DP having to accommodate other child, but I just know this won't happen/last.
There are health issues, education issues and behaviour issues all of which ex will look to DO to resolve, won't be able to do any of this from that distance in the way it is now, so all that will go downhill.
The only benefit I can see is that DC mum will be happier, obviously this is important but it's at the expense of an active father, sibling and support.
I'm at a loss really, I've made my thoughts clear and as I say not my decision, but just wondering in practice how the travel a long distance works for those who do it?
