You better stick to your guns about 50/50 custody at a minimum or your wife will be filing a motion for relocation out of state in no time and you'll find yourself fighting an uphill battle against the Wisconsin rebuttable presumption that the primary custodial parent (even if she's just the joint parent but the kids spend more nights with her) can relocate whenever they want as long as it's not completely unreasonable.
In other words....to beat her...you'd basically have to prove you are actually the better parent and it would be in the best interest of the kids to live primarily with you while mom moves out of state.
Not every state is like that. Many, like New York, rarely allow relocation petitions. The kids have to stay in the state (and within a certain mile radius) and if a parent needs to leave...then they just have to leave the kids with the residing parent and work out visitation by other means --- like summers and holidays.
Of course - become your own expert and research this. I know OM lives out of state so keep up the good fight and research ways to improve your position even if you have joint custody (because she can still file a motion to relocate she will just have a harder time winning). Research what factors the court looks at a be sure to fill those. Things like access to current schools, extended family and even church play a roll in "rooting" children within a community giving you a valid "stability" argument should the argument ever arise. Maintain good form and practices (with regards to being a great parent and holding up your end of joint custody) and she'll be advised by her attorney to not even bother trying.
The internet is 90% complaining and entitlement and I hate it because I deserve better!
