I haven't filed yet, but plan on it this week. We currently live in Massachusetts and have resided here for one year. We own two homes in NJ and I know what he is going to try to do. He is going to try to play my kids against me.
My children never wanted to leave NJ and neither did I, but I like it here now and do not want to go back. To many bad things happened in NJ. He knows my kids loved it there and will fight for custody and use their desire to see their old friends. They do like it here now though, but they talk about their friends everyday.
I like the environment here better, the schools are better and the kids are a bit different.
My question. Can he force me to move their since he is the income maker? I know this could be a legal issue, but did anyone ever experience this?

PG thinks this is more of "a legal question" than anything else?
I guess you need to consider what's in the best interest of your children, yourself and whether your soon-to-be EX is willing to make a few concessions?
Instead of assuming terms that haven't been 'cut in stone', you're better off chatting with a legal advisor before anticipating the worst!
Good Luck!

Hi Madison,
This is a legal question for your attorney. Since you've established residency in Mass. and have established the children in schools there, it may be up to him to live close by. Again, that's a question for your lawyer.
As for your kids missing their friends, that's normal. However, eventually their friendships in Mass will esclipse the ones in NJ by sheer
