Should I Move My Kids Away from Their Daddy?

In this case, i would say that what is best for you is best for them. If moving that far away means that you're more financially stable and have more support around you (whether from friends or family, etc.), then that sounds like a better situation for all of you. There are planty of kids who only get to see their other parent a few times a year (usually for holidays) and are fine growing up. I think as long as there is a loving family for them wherever they grow up they will be fine and not think anything of being away from their dad. Don't fret so much, i'm sure whatever you decide you'll make the right decision because you're their mommy.

Hi K.,

Your question hit close to home with me and I had to respond. I lived in Arkansas all of my life and when I filed for divorce, I decided to move to Tennessee to get closer to my job. My ex was awarded visitation every other weekend and Wednesday nights until 8. I was given custodial parent rights. This worked out fine for everyone. My boys are really close to their father and when living so close, I even let him see them whenever he would call and ask. When he found out I was moving them to TN, he was ecstatic. He didnt realize I was doing it for financial reasons, all he saw was it wasnt fair to him. I wont lie, my boys hated the idea of not getting to see their daddy whenever they wanted. We worked out a new visitation schedule, he gets them every weekend and anytime school will not be in session. Holidays, we share! Example: Christmas Eve they are at my house and after Santa comes, they go to daddys. Its been almost 2 years since the move, and yes, it is still hard because the boys do miss him terribly. However, he calls them every single night. I fear that as they get older they may want to live with him because of the fact they have missed out (in a way) on being with him. I know this doesnt answer your question, but I just wanted to let ya know I'm experiencing the same confusion.

K. its really up to you if its going to be better for you financially then I would say do it, because I know how you feel my baby's father lives in Atlanta, he moved away from my daughter and I about 2 months ago my daugther haven't been to see him because of school and my work schedule but she talks to him everyday. I see you have twins and boy I know how it is to have twins baby they are expensive and maybe this would be good for you and your babies so if he doesn't have a problem with it then go ahead it would be better for you and your darlings in the long run.

Absolutely stay. Kids need both parents.... Best wishes with your decision.
