Hi everyone
The mother of my two young children has stated that she IS moving 1500KM away at the start of July. Unfortunately the seperation agreement i signed 2 years ago stated that if i moved from the Toronto area she was free to move anywhere in Canada.
I moved 1 hour away from their current home a year ago for a new job but still continue to see my boys every other weekend and once a week for dinner. I drive nearly 50,000KM a year seeing them so much and want to remain part of their lives. I realize that i was silly to sign such an agreement but i was being black mailed at the time as she had me arrested with bogus assault charges.
My ex wife knew that i might be fired if i had a criminal record and used this in our negotiations. It was obviously blackmail but i wanted to be able to pick up my kids without supervision, get on with life and keep my job - So i agreed to her unfair terms. Sure enough she contacted the crown attorney and told them she would like the charges dropped - they informed her they cannot drop the charges but after a week of her pressuring them they did indeed drop the charges and issue a peace bond for one year. Now 2 years later she wants to move and i am wondering about what the courts would decide?
Does the separation agreement trump whats in the kids best interests? Right now she wants to move 1500KM away where she would have NO job and no family.
I am seeing a NEW lawyer this week but any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
