I’m wondering if anyone has experience with living in one state and moving to another bordering state after a divorce. I live close to the Massachusetts border, and when we get divorced, I’d like to have the kids live with me in Massachusetts when I have them. I want to be closer to my family and prefer to raise them in Massachusetts. The kids are currently in daycare.
The goal should be equal shared parenting time. You’ll need to come up with a plan for how to make this happen across two states. Once the kids are school-aged, it can get complicated unless one parent is willing to drive them to the other state daily for school.
We’re considering sending them to a private school that’s on the border. Neither of us would be more than 30 minutes from it.
That sounds like a good plan! Just make sure to discuss this with your ex to ensure you both agree on the schooling and logistics.
It’s important to consult with a lawyer about custody arrangements when moving between states, especially since laws can vary. A solid parenting plan will be key.
