Would you remarry someone if your kids do not want to move away?
I met a woman who lives in the lovely state of Michigan. Her husband paid child support for 4 months then stopped. She and I fell in love and talked of her moving to San Diego where I live. She now says her 2 children ages 11 and 13, do not want to move because they will be away from the father.
What would you do? Listen to the children or move to San Diego? Can you think of ways that this would ever work?
Thanks for the feedback. Thumbs up to all. I came from a broken family and I can understand it a little except he doesn't pay support / no visitation.

what would I do? I wouldn't move. I would think about my children. I'm sure its not because of their dad entirely - but, because they just don't want to leave their friends - and the life they know. I take it you are not willing to move to be closer to her? I guess maybe when they get older - 18 - and they are on their own - maybe then you might still have feelings for each other and get together then - but, until then - I don't think she will be moving. It doesn't mean she doesn't love you - -- It only means her children depend on her - and her are her #1 priority - which Im sure you can understand.

First of all, there are many children who live far apart from their father, and NO child will dictate to me what to do. As long as the world still have various transportation choices i really don't understand the problem. I think it's a cop out, personally. I could see if she had a very big & promising career/job there and she doesn't want to uproot her children just yet from their schools where they are doing excellent. But to say they don't want to be away from their father uhhh..... ok whatever !!!! what about you moving there then ? other than that, i don't see this working. Because what if you move there and the father becomes a MAJOR thorn in you guys relationship. Clearly they let the kids run everything, even their lives. I bet he'd move out of state for someone he's really digging ya know !!! Good luck

If the daddy is paying toddler assist you ought to apply that and or bypass due help as a potential to cajole him to sign off as be sure and obligated. for that reason supplying you with, your husband and toddler freedom to go approximately....Ha Ha I had to cite the cellular telephone commercial, sorry.
