Hi, I am new as of a minute ago. I would like to move from California to Illinois with my 81/2 yrs. old daughter. Her father and I share joint physical custody. I have her 3 days a week and every other weekend. He has her the rest. He doesn't want to take the time and help her with her homework, help wash her hair, or brush her teeth. But he doesn't want to miss her. All of our relatives (his side and mine) live in Illinois. He owns a duplex in cali. I want to move so that our daughter can spend time with her relatives. She hardly knows them and gets lonely when she sees other kids with their grandmas and grandpas, and aunts and uncles. It is more affordable there too. She has a sister in Nebraska that we can hardly afford to visit. If we moved, we both would be able to see her sister (my other daughter) more. But her dad doesn't want to let her go because he doesn't want to miss her. He is pretty alone here, and It would be perfect if he moved there too! Which he claims he has been considering for a while.I am going to try to get permission and hope for the best.

You might want to post your own thread on this and if you can convince him to move to Illinois too that would be great, but I would recommend against moving a child away from one of her parents just so she can be closer to the rest of her extended family. Children need parents more than aunts and uncles.

The Excel spread sheet is a great idea but there is a "Calendar" attached to this website which may even be better because it can't be changed after the fact. (The "Calendar" is under the "Community Forums" link).
Use both. You could put in the "Calendar" when you have them, the times - and some comments. Then, you could use the Excel spreadsheet to go into more detail.

You sound like a father who actually cares about his kids. So please don't take this the wrong way. In my divorce and all the others I've heard, if it does go that she can remove the children, it's not up to her to transport the kids back and forth. It would be soley (unless other agreements were made) your job to see your kids. My ExHusband has to pay ALL expenses to see his son. I would have not moved away from my family, (if he didn't relocate us), I would have moved back (if they weren't controlling and would be in my sons life), but I created a new life, great job, huge house and in the process of getting remarried. So I refuse to move back. My son is over 3 years old and his BF has seen him maybe 3 times his whole life. Twice in his first year and one just this past summer because his parents threw a fit. Other than that he could care less. Never calls, doesn't wish his son happy birthday's, no nothing. So I'm extremely happy to hear a father actually cares about his kids!
