Saving my family - Part 13

[Scorp7]

The land and the house are all one property. It's an acreage on 5 acres of land.

I could afford to keep them on my own. It doesn't make sense
though as my kids are enrolled in school 4 hours away from my home and for them to be with me every other week I need to be there.

If I wasn't paying my W what I am in support then I could afford to rent something or even buy something over there. I don't see that it makes sense to maintain two residences though. I will be forced to do that at least until the acreage sells.

To put this into perspective, and I hope I don't offend anyone with this, my wife has essentially moved to an area that could be compared to Detroit as far as crime and unemployment are concerned. We were living in an area comparable to say North Dakota (from what I hear it has one of the best economies in the US) as far as the economy and job prospects. It makes no sense at all for her to live where she is other than that is where her parents are.
