This has been a really bad 10 month journey, and I finally feel like I am about to emerge from the end of the tunnel. There were times I couldn't even see the light at the end to be honest...
We haven't executed our agreement yet, but its about to happen and I need to think about where I am going to move to.
BTW I will share my story after its all done on how I won shared parenting by staying in the matrimonial home until she capitulated. It was very hard, but it does work and if handled properly will help you avoid court and huge legal bills.
I need feedback from parents that have a shared arrangement and have moved out of the house. I will have my daughter every other weekend and 3 weekdays in a two week cycle.
Details. She is buying me out and staying in the house, our daughter is 3 and will be starting kindergarten at a school about 1.5km away. We live in a unique pocket of homes with very little within <5km currently on the market that appeals to me.
My thoughts are to be as close to the matrimonial home as possible so our daughter will have easy access to the same friends from school as she gets older. I don't want her to feel alienated when she comes to dads house because "Sally" lives near her mum and school and not me. I haven't checked with the school yet, but where I am looking is probably out of the school/bus zone so I'm not really sure how that effects things.
I have looked around and the closest neighborhoods that appeal to me are about 9km away.
What are your experiences with this? Is 9km that big of a deal or am I being silly here? How much distance is too much for the child?
