Married for 15 years small town. She leaves me for a coworker total shock and very painful. I divorced her very quickly as she did not want to seek any kind of help and my pleads to give her the world fell on deaf ears. I set up the custody agreement 50/50 everyother week. If a spouse moves out of the school district the spouse who remains becomes primary and the one who leaves gets them everyother weekend.....Its 8 months later shes out of lust and wants to move 300 miles away and take the kids. She signed it 8 months ago and I'm squiky clean no abuse drugs or alcohol. I coach my kids baseball teams and do everything with them. Does she have a chance if she takes me to court to change the custody agreement???

Get a lawyer, and use every bit of info you have on her to keep your kids. I don't understand why any parent would want to take kids away from other parents that are good and involved in the kids lives. It's not fair to the kids...

Now a days , No. They are looking more at the fathers. I lost my girls a few years ago, and no, I do not do drug, abuse my children, neglect them, my crime is I am living a single life, one income. Whatever happens, forget about the hate you have for each other and know that the children love both of you. I cannot reiterate that. The price of a continuous fight is the heartache the children will face. No matter what she did or you did, remember you both love the children that you brought into this life. I know the fear of being away from your children, I have been through it. There is no good answer for this situation, and I feel for you. If there is one thing that I can tell you is just let the kids know how much you love them.

It's going to vary by state. For instance, I live in TX and they favor the woman, but it's not like that everywhere.
If you've got the paperwork already set up and she's signed it, she should have no choice but to abide by it since she's already agreed to the terms. Contact your attorney as soon as possible, as only s/he will be able to tell you what's likely to happen.
Should you ever decide to change attorneys, seek out a firm that only represents men in cases like this. They are almost universally composed of better, more aggressive and more ambitious attorneys - in other words, lawyers who go for the jugular. It's easy to represent the woman in family law cases, because you don't have to have any talent. The ones who represent men are the creative, smart, hard-core ones - they'll do the best job for you.
Best wishes!

Sweetie...Talk to a lawyer..They can inform you of your rights. Your involvement with your kids should have some clout. I am very proud of you for asking this question. I wish you the best..Oh by the way, I think it shameful when a parent wants to take there kids aways from the other parent, especially as you are a very involved parent. Good luck to you...

No she doesn't. I am in the middle of a divorce and my soon to be ex is moving a thousand miles away and the judge says that there is no way to move the kid that far away from his already stable home. Its not good for kids especially in a divorce that has already upset them anyways.

Get a good lawyer & make sure they have experience child custody issues. The best lawyer usually wins.

Men have been doing this to women for years. Counselors who help them fix the marriage always say to the women, after asking each of them if they want to make it work, that the women must learn how to forgive.
Good luck -if you can make it through this very tough time, it will make your relationship stronger.

Seek legal advice, you said 50/50, but who has full-custody?

The judge will not let her move and take the kids. Call your lawyer.
