I offered to do that already. NCP refuses to agree because it's a longer drive. To my way of thinking, NCP should not have moved 2000 miles from the residence of the children.

My attorney had an informal conversation with NCPs attorney. The attorney stated that NCP will be framing it as I'm always moving and not creating a stable environment.

It's been 3 years since I filed for divorce, I moved once 6 months after filing so the martial home could be sold.

Current travel time for NCP is 18-24 hours each way. The move would stretch it to 20-26. Custodial parent is willing to reimburse for the difference in travel time or waive the current $300 a month child support payment.

Thank you! It will because I'm taking the job either way. I'd just prefer to make my commute as short as possible you know?

Thank you for your input.

Dad was found responsible by cps for one of the children testing positive for thc after one of his visits. Also, divorce was just finalized 2 months ago.

Idk if I would call 2 hours significant when NCP CHOSE to move 2000 miles away. Additionally NCP threw a fit when CP moved out of the marital residence so it could be sold and moved 90 miles closer to NCP. This is not a logical person.

NCP drives down because visits are to be supervised by their parents. I'm assuming 3 round-trip tickets once a month is too much of a burden. Not to mention NCP is not a size that comfortably fits in a plane seat, and also enjoys chain smoking (can't do that on flights of course)

I already offered to! He won't agree even if I do that.

Ik exactly what you mean! It was even worse because NCP HAS AGGRESSIVELY been gaining weight... At one of our hearings he broke a chair in front of the judge 😬

Yes I did offer, no dice. There are no flights involved, it’s always driving.

NCP moved out of the area long before orders were entered. Geographic restriction is tied to the county and contiguous county of residence at the time of finalizing the divorce.

The reasons for the move away by NCP were 1) refused employment so couldn't afford to live on their own without Custodial Parent housing them and 2) missed their family (parents) and wanted to move closer

Edited to add, his parents bought a vehicle specifically to make the trip. It's bordering on totaled out at this point, 3 accidents in the last 18 months and most of the front end is missing. NCP doesn't drive it, the parents take turns driving while NCP naps in the back. So not too bad of a set up.

Other fun court comment highlights include:

Yeah well she's an evil genius!

I mean yeah I did duct tape a child but they were having a tantrum

She peed in my shoe! I know it was her and not the dog!

I needed a 2 month vacation (was not working or providing childcare)

Lmaooooo he's supposed to reimburse me for out if pocket medical expenses for the kids since I cover them under my insurance. He had ran up a bill of like 250... Would you believe he handed me a check written off his mother's account with my name spelled wrong on it, for a grand total of 72.87 with "for medical and child support" written in the notes section.

He tried using that in court as evidence that he does pay child support.

Yes NCP is raising hell over it. NCP is petty and still trying to punish the custodial parent for the divorce.
