What do you mean, what is it you want to negotiate? Visitation? I mean she can't keep you from moving, but if you do you will likely give up your parental rights. I would think about all you could negotiate is seeing them once a month or so. I have two friends (in different states) who were both required to have a clause in their D decrees that if either party moved beyond a certain radius then they would surrender their parental rights. That wasn't in mine (I'm in TX) so I think it varies.


I mean negotiating with her to follow me. Due to the nature of my work my job is common to certain regions of the U.S. (and the world). Her job on the other hand is found everywhere. So even in our MR I couldn't always follow her, but she could always follow me.

Edit: If she won't follow me I won't go. I would never give up custody/parental rights.
