In order to have joint custody, both parents have to live in or near the same school district for obvious reasons. She is now 70 miles from me, on back roads all the way. About all I have left is my job, and I need to hang on to it.
If your only bringing home 37% of your pay I wouldn't worry about keeping that job.I'd be looking into getting around this, otherwise your going to spend the next 13 yrs spinning your wheels in the mud.
Again, here where I live you don't have to be in the same school district, you only have to be able to get the child to the school he/she goes to, on time, every day. Maybe you could half the distance..... commute to work and drive your son to school the 2 or3 days hes with you.
