My ex is moving three hours away from Austin, where I live and is taking my son. And like I said it is only three hours, but I feel like I am going to miss so much. He is only 20 months old, and means everything to me. Feel pretty much empty right now. I just hope that when she gets things together eventually we will be able to live in the same city again.
i feel your pain. i was lucky in that i've been able to keep things amicable enough that the ex has stayed in the same neighborhood, but the weeks i don't have the kids are rough. keep yourself busy.
I think of people in the military or even someone that has gone to prison and that is much worse then my son moving to Corpus Christi. But it is what is, and it just plain sucks. I truly do not understand a parent that has no interest in there child.
That sucks, but I think your attitude is at least right. They are at least close enough - though 3 hours to Corpus is a little low, unless you are on the outskirts of both towns. I guess just a lot of car time. Do you have any legal rights? I.e. - are you legally allowed to see him on [x] times? Is she moving to Corpus for family? Could she possibly move even further away? I guess just time to start making sure you protect all your rights, limited though they might be.
Yeah, but it'd be a dick move. My brother is currently stationed up in Connecticut while he's finishing Sub school for the Navy, and his step-son's father is doing something like that to keep my sister-in-law from taking his son and moving to Connecticut. He is suing for custody and in the mean time, somehow got a court order against my sister-in-law preventing her from moving outside of Waller County.
Yeah I am going to I think have to give her permission to move during a child support hearing Wednesday. I can not support her and my self both currently and she needs her families help I suppose. I am conflicted if its the right decision letting her move. She has somewhat of a drinking problem. I made it very clear to her that she needs to take advantage of the situation that she will have, to finish school etc.
Damn. Hang in there, man. I'd say to keep records, etc on her. If she effs up being at home with the easy babysitter and no responsibilities, swoop in with the lawyer and get custody. My wife's cousin just went through that whole deal. I hope it isn't the case, though. Obviously your son is the #1 priority and a stable happy life is key.
I disagee, why should the father care about anything other than what is best for the child? The child should be available to both parents to raise. The mom wanting to move out of state is likely for her and not the child's benefit.
That's what SHE said. :grin: AND, I hope you can still see your son very often, sir. What's he going to fight in court? To make the "baby momma" move back? What's there to take her to court about, if something isn't already decided? If anything, meeting halfway for the visitations would be fair, I think.
Sorry to hear that, man. My brother was able to get custody of his daughters and his soon to be ex-wife will be moving with them to be close.
Were you actually married to her..........that is an item that is often specifically addressed in divorce agreements. Are you sure she has the right.
