We're not divorced yet, just in the preliminary stages. As of the last 12 months, we have been sharing 50/50 parenting. Daughter has been in the same school district the entire time.
Gotcha, I misunderstood. I thought you said D had moved into a different school every time your W moved.
Based on what you described about your W moving, it sounds like she just hasn't settled into a permanent spot yet. But it sounds like once she moves into OM's house then that is more permanent. That said, I would by all means push to keep your home as D's "primary residence" to ensure that she stays in the same school whether W moves or not. I do agree with you that kids go through enough hell in these sitches as it is, they shouldn't have to deal with changing schools too. Changing schools isn't the end of the world, but it is another change at a time kids are being subjected to more changes than they can handle.

Personally, I feel W is thinking selfishly, considering residence to be the same as "ownership" of our daughter. I don't believe she is making all the best choices for our daughters well-being.
Seems like you always assume the worst regarding your W and do what you can to craft your words to turn her into the villain. Truthfully you don't know what she's thinking or why. Maybe she just misses D and wants to spend more time with her.
