My partner and I live an hour apart. We have 3 children between us. My arrangement with my ex is 50/50 care of our kids. Hers is not really set, every second or third weekend. My partner and I want to live together but I'm not sure what my options are given I can't move my kids school without my ex's permission and I doubt he will give it to me. My partner is open to moving but wants half way so she's still close enough to all of her family, which of course is fair enough. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this situation? Thanks.

You can move half an hour away and nothing needs to change for your kids.
Sometimes it's less stress just to live apart.
An hour isn't that far. My ex and I used to live an hour apart and had 50/50 of our son. The kid stay at their school and you do the extra driving if you move further away. You also do the extra driving to facilitate drops offs and pick ups if needed. Its very simple.
Half hr isn't that long for you to take the kids to school and pick them up on your days. Why should the dad agree to make it harder on him when he has the kids when it's YOUR decision to move away? You both have the kids equally so it's up to you to do the travel if you want to move not him.
