see them every other weekend and have them on holidays and most of the summer? (previous question asked got that he abandoned his children response) Keep in mind that we both wanted them to move here with us, they wanted to stay in their schools. My husband moved here to marry me, 1 1/2 hours away from them. Is this considered abandonment?

If your husband still financially supports them and physically and emotionally supports them it is not abandonment. If they can contact him at any time and know where he is, it is not abandonment. If in the custody agreement it says he can not move more than a certain amount away, it can be legal abandonment.

River try reading the answer's to your questions properly and clearly.
The children had EVERY right to want to stay in their state and stay at their school , why should they have to have their lives turned upside down just because dad got a new piece of @zz?.
Their mother , uncles , aunt's , grand parents , friends their sporting event's if they have any , they are suffering enough from the divorce , being confused , angry , upset , blaming themselves , why should they move state to suit you? and just because you were 2 selfish to pack up and move closer to him so he didnt have to give up full custody of them has all been left out of your statement hasnt it?
Stop acting the victim , your in a whole other STATE how are they seeing him every flipping weekend? How much of a drive , train ride , bus ride , plane ride is it ? how tired are they when come home from school and rush around to get ready to go visit ? There are way to many hole's in your story.
Not to mention how cold hearted , selfish and B****y you sound.
I gave you sympathy in the 1st question but not this time because your annoying me with your out burst.

No, I don't think so, but some people like to talk without knowing the whole story. Abandonment means staying out of reach and that is not the case.

If the parent is in contact so often and following through on any court ordered support/visitation, they have not abandoned their children. Its a rare occasion that non-custodial parents do keep such good contact. I say good for them, keep it up, it is great parenting under circumstances keeping them away on a daily basis.

That's not abandonment that's just like an child support order that's like joint custody I have that order in play for my kids but i have full custody and he is suppose to get them every other weekend and summer.I don't have to worry about that so much he don't pick them up.

In your first question, you pretty much said he up, moved away and gave UP custody of his kids.
If i were his child, i'd feel quite second fiddle.... and yes, abandoned.
In my world, and after my divorce, i based my decisions on everyone's happiness, not just mine.
yours is a tough situation, and i can't make a good call on it, because i don't know the details... such as, were you dating a long time? did the kids know you well? did he make it a point to spend time with all of you together? did he discuss this big move with his kids and ask how THEY felt about it?
anyway, i wish you all the best.

Well you should have told the ENTIRE story in the beginning...or are you just adding this to make the you look a bit nicer? If you keep changing the story you just make it that much more unbelievable.

yes because once he decided to have those kids his life should be all about them. especially when he is dating. he should have never made a move like that for personal gain. only if he was getting a new job with a huge increase or something along those lines but not to be with a woman. because now he regrets it. he feels guilty and if those kids turn out bad or get into trouble with the law, become pg at a young age he will blame himself for all of the bad in their life because he chose to be with a woman than be with his kids in the same state or at least closer.
