I am not settling for a parenting plan for a 3-year old who lives across the country from either of his parents. I moved and settled for my wife's career dreams our entire married life, so no more. I was thinking of moving close to where she'd end up, but I'm excelling at my workplace, so no more sacrifices. I am looking out for myself, and therefore am considering on fighting to keep our son in the state (CA). I was initially worried that doing so will essentially kill any chances of us reconciling, but I'm getting more and more convinced that she chose this, and sometimes you don't always get what you want.
