I have been split up with my ex for eight months now.....she moved to Indianapolis and I moved home to southwest Michigan....
I have the chance to go to Jacksonville, nc to have a new life.....my life here is at a complete stop...I got a job and laid off withing two months..I lost my car and I'm stuck....my ex thinks that I shouldn't go because of the strain that it would put on my relationship with my children....but, right now I have nothing here....I would be farther away from them but, I do have an opportunity for work and a better life....
I think that my ex might try to stop me from seeing my kids if I go.....my question is this....If I go...can she stop me from seeing my kids and if she does....is there anything that I can do about it....we aren't in the court at all so, what should I or could I do?

i don't want to sound cliche but quality of time spend is better than quantity of time spent with them. if you are happy and well adjusted, then the time you spend with them will be fun and comfortable and so much more enjoyable than if you stayed and could not provide for them or do things for and with them. kids know that it takes money to live and they won't hold it against you for making a living. if you stay and feel bad about yourself, they will know this. kids are very smart and know more than ppl give them credit for knowing. you should seek legal aide and have your rights defined as it sounds like the ex may work against you. also, sounds like she has some 'control' issues.

Your ex can't stop you from doing anything. However, not having the Court involved is a big no-no. Get a lawyer, have your case presented to the court and by doing so, you'll have a better chance at seeing your kids, but there too, there's the matter of Support for your kids....Find a job ASAP and let the courts decide what your support will be, plus make sure visitation rights are granted.
Good Luck and please keep us updated.

Tell her you need to move. She moved. You have a computer--email your kids, send them pictures, have her send them pictures. A letter is 42 cents. You can always find a way to see your kids after you get a job and some money. You can get an appointment with LEGAL AIDE to find out your rights. Don't antagonize her. Just be fair and firm and go. You'll be back.

My parents are divorced, and my dad has moved around alot for work. If you don't have a job, you can't help support them. Keep trying to find a closer job, and if no luck, move. It's your life.

If you don't have court papers stating what visitation, child support, etc should be, then you are screwed and have no rights. Get a lawyer and get your business taken care of the way it should be.
