Something else to look at. He might fight your moving away. Some dads do.
If it looked to a judge like you were moving *in order to* get them away,
and not for some other perfectly good reason (like a job change) you might
not be allowed to take them. Also, as far as homeschooling them goes, make
sure that you haven't agreed to give him a say in their education. The laws
vary, but where I live, sharing guardianship (as opposed to custody) gives
both parents a say in religious and educational issues. (I found that out
the hard way with my older son.) And judges tend to go with the "norm" in
those areas. It seems to be harder (from what I've seen) to make a change
*to* homeschooling after the divorce than to keep on homeschooling after a
divorce. Judges tend to want to keep things as much the same as possible
for the kids.

Not meant to scare but just a heads up.

Hi,
If you move away - he'll have them all summer.

He's not paying child support and these people are verbally abusive. Your children are unhappy w/ him.

There's no way my ex would see my kids.

Excellent point. I'ts written right in my divorce agreement that Tara's dad
and I have to "consult one another on questions of religion, discipline,
financial, moral, social, recreational and legal matters, school and
educational programs, changes in social environment, and non emergency
health care, both dental and medical."
Luckily for me he never really questioned anything but when I wanted to pull
her from school to homeschool her, he balked at that big time. Being that I
had such a rough time in court before regarding Tara, I wasn't willing to
chance doing it again for homeschooling. But like you saidm this came after
the divorce and from what I was told, did make a difference. If she was
homeschooling before the divorce, I would have had a much better chance
keeping things that way.

He will not take them for the summer. They asked last year if they could spend the summer with them and it did not work out. He felt that I should not only pay him child support but also provide them with paid daycare will he and his wife were at work. I told him to go jump in the lake.The girls are glad that they did not go. We also just found out he and his wife are expecting a new baby. This will certainly cause waves. I have told my girls to welcome the new sister or brother with open arms. I understand that they are upset but they should be excited, it could be the brother they have always wanted....~Annie~~You may laugh at me because I am different.

Why are you telling them how to feel about this baby?? Aren't those their feelings?
Brianna doesn't like her 6 y.o. half sister - right now - she's ok w/ that. I'm accepting of it. That way we get to talk about it.

Well that all sounds very much in your favor on a lot of counts. I would do
some more checking possibly about the court systems there and the judges and
homeschooling. Ask around. Talk to someone in the system. Ask an attorney.
Just in case. If what you hear is favorable, I would do as you wish.
