My ex-husband and I are going through a very tough time. We have two children 6 and 4. I am currently engaged to someone else “The One” everything between the two of us is really great, despite the fact that…here it is…my major issue…he and I live 31/2 hours away from each other, he in Wisconsin and I and my two children in Illinois. Now, it gets worse if you can imagine it. He is also divorced and has two children that he is very close to in…Wisconsin. We really want to start a life together and he’s willing to move to the midway point between my ex and his ex and kids. This was of course very hard for him to decide, but he did. Now there’s my ex-husband who is having really big issues with it because right now he’s only 15 minutes from the kids as apposed to an hour and a half or so. I just don’t know what to do here. I feel like I’m losing it.

If you are engaged and wanting to start a new life, making a move half way between is a good idea. Your ex will just have to get over himself. Of course, you both will have to meet in the middle to be equal to both of you. Don't let him convince you that you can't move because it's not convenient for him. You have to look at the best interest of everyone except him. He can't expect you to stop living because he disagrees. Yes, it includes move travel time but a lot of parents do it all the time. Although, the traveling does get old and wear on your nerves. If this is what you truly want to do then go for it. Your children seem to be young to have any issues with it. But you could ask them what they thought, they might be excited about making a move. Also, would the move be better for both of you financially. Would you be working at the same job or do you have to find one closer to where you want to move? Check out all your options and be prepared. If you are moving to better your financial status, I don't believe a judge will stand in the way of that. So, I would say, combining two incomes would be bettering your financial status. Have you spoken to your attorney about the move? You could call him/her and inquire if the judge would think it to be a big issue. I, too, have thought about moving down south in Illinois to my fiance's farm but then there is the issue of visitation. I would have to drive an hour and a half one way for visitation times. I haven't completely ruled the idea out but I'm not too sure. I'm sorry if I couldn't offer you much advice and I hope things will work out for the best.
