My DH and I live 4 1/2 hours away from his children, now just daughter as son lives with us but for the last 10 years we would meet 1/2 way on Friday and 1/2 way on Sunday. So we would drive just over 2 hours to pick up his kids. And it was at least 100 every weekend we had them just for transportation and meals as pick up was at 6 and drop off at 5:30 and we ended up feeding kids both ways. But we were there every scheduled visitation! No matter the weather, health, job or what we managed to be there. We met once every 4 weekends! So that meant some months we'd go two times! But we were there to maintain a relationship with those kids! We'd call every sunday night and if no one was home we left a message and called the next night. When they got a computer we got [censored] messenger to instant message with them! There is no reason distance should keep a father from being a father....IF HE WANTS TO BE A FATHER!
The only problem we had was getting bio mom to adhere to visitation schedule if holdiday's happened to force back to back weekends. We'd end up giving up a weekend to please her but then when it came time for makeup weekends when she'd need to trade for any reason sometimes we'd be stuck with back to backs and so we could easily drop 300 - 350 in costs just to get them here and home again....but we did it all the while shelling out over 800 a month to mom in CS. It was tight but we did it cause they were his kids and nothing was going to get in the way of visits! It's all in priorities!
