It IS in the kids best interests to remain with me, no matter where I am. That is not just my belief, but the GAL as well.

The only reason I am planning a move just before school is that I only have two weeks before school starts and I won't move them after it starts. I will give written notice and if my lawyer recommend having papers served showing him that I will.

I don't need to stick JUST with what is said. I can add to it as well. You have made it sound very clear that you are not showing much value to a mother.

Fine, but your technique of recasting others' positions inaccurately to hopefully get an emotional, sympathetic response won't get you very far in court.

And you don't REALLY want to try to portray me as anti-mother. That's a losing battleground for you. I'm probably the most pro-mother male poster on this board. (well, not when it comes to spousal support...but SS ain't motherhood...) But parenting plans?

My own stipulations to trying to get primary custody were that I never have more that 50% of the parenting time, nor should I be allowed to move away from their current school district or mother, so that their relationship with their mother is never negatively impeded. Those were MY requests, because I want them to be close to their mother as possible. I feel guilt every day that they cannot be closer to mom than what we actually are post-divorce. I'll take them to their mother's during my parenting upon kids' request, if my daughter wakes up in my apartment as asks for mom. Mom has an open standing invitation to participate in any kid-related activity during my parenting time. And it is NOT because I enjoy being with their mom. It's because THEY enjoy it. I can honestly say I would never consider moving my kids away from their mom. If I had to move to keep working to support my kids, I'd change our plan and give up time to their mom to be in their interests while I work far away. And I do everything I can to avoid needing that far away job.

I'm just pretty hard on moms that try to take kids far from their fathers without compelling reasons. Equally hard on fathers that try to take kids far from moms.

Enabling your new marriage isn't very compelling reasoning.
