In the meantime, if you're W doesn't agree to talk 50/50, where do you plan to live? Are you still going to move to the town where she is regardless of the custody results? Or is there a scenario where you'd stay where you are?

I haven't agreed to selling the house yet. I may do that but there is so much we need to get straightened our first. I am dealing with my mother's terminal illness right now as well so anything other than fighting for my kids is on the back burner.

So far, it sounds like you've at least suggested your actions are somewhat dependent on your W's. I think you need to start putting your life plans in place without that dependency. What do you want to do?

As long as I have my kids with me half time I will do whatever I have to in order to make that possible. It would be great if my W would realize that my province is the best place for our kids to grow up but that's not likely to happen any time soon. Rather than fighting to have her move back I will move to where the kids are. Yes it is tying my plans to my W but I don't see a way around that at the moment. Having my kids with me for 2 weekends a month is not an option I will accept.

Are you paying your W monthly based on your attorney's suggestion, or are you simply doing what your W tells you here? I'd definitely check with your attorney before sending her any more money.

I had started paying my W what she requested because I thought it was the right thing to do. I did check with my L and she advised me to keep sending the money.
