Plan B is for her to stay in our town for one more school year, after which we will both move to the same city and be able to co-parent our daughter. She said that if I stayed it the family house and she moved out she might as well move states with my daughter now so she doesn’t have to move her twice. Basically a veiled threat of taking my daughter away if I don’t move out. Even if I land the job I won’t be ready to move for at least a year so I’m in a tough spot here. May need to consult with an attorney.


Dadhurt, Cadet nailed it with his response. Yes, please consult an attorney.

As far as her veiled threat.........in general you should always DB from a position of strength, not of fear. Acting out of fear will cause you do do things that are detrimental to your efforts, not helpful. So don't move out because you are afraid she will move to another state. Know your rights. Knowledge is power.

Now I am going to tell you some other things to consider..................
