moving away with children

[sixty9]

some information that has been requested. My two children are 14 and 8. i would be moving under 40 miles away. the mother does have regular contact with the lads. it is not a plan for an immediate move but maybe for the future. where i live is terrible. can the ex hamper my plans for a better life

I dont think you will have any problems with moving roughly 40 miles away , Your eldest son is old enough to travel on puplic transport to visit his mother and maybe take your youngest son with him.
Good luck with the move.

my ex husband has moved about 40 miles away, and the children still go and see him every other weekend - he picks them up after finishing work on Friday, and then drops them home on Sunday evening. Never caused any problems. Good luck!

unless the moving away would mean their mum couldn't see them there shouldn't be a problem. possibly reasuring their mum that you would make sure she still gets to see them at least as often as she does now will appease her and the lads worries.
