Hi!

I've been divorced for 5 years now - was on the board for 4 years before that - WOW! Anyway, everything settled down after years of hurt and anger and frustration. Suffice to say - few were worse than my ex. The affair, unbelievable cruelty - some abuse prior to the split etc.

We have a disabled son who is now 31. Although Ex had rarely seen him one he left - he insisted on bimonthly visitation. I reluctantly went along with it. My son is severely disabled - has nursing care in my home. Ex never helped with him in any way after he left. I take care of him and all medical visits, costs, arrangements etc. Ex often cancels. Takes him for a drive in his car for one hour every other week. He and I do not communicate and have not for several years due to his anger problems.

So - the question is this. I am planning to move to another town - app 3 hours away. Ex would not be able to visit as easily. He would still be welcome to visit our son as often as he does now if he wished to. But I am wondering if I am bound to live closer to him since he has visitation.

Has anyone encountered this before or heard of anyone else who had to do long distance visitation?
