I believe it would help my son because he currently is zoned for an F school in a rough area and my new husband's salary is double his father's. He could go to the excellent public school in the zone we would live in or private if we choose. He will be able to enjoy an appropriate number of after school activities.
I believe I am the more fit parent. For reasons that are mostly philosophical and need not be detailed here. I think it's incredibly important that he has been in my uncontested custody this entire time. I have traded off entire years of holidays with dad. Last year was his- Christmas, birthday, thanksgiving, everything. I have moved closer to dad to make it less expensive for him to see his son. I did this last August of my own accord and (obviously) at my own expense.
His dad is a good dad, I have no intention of using this move to alienate him. I just feel I can offer my son more as far as education and experience goes by relocating with him during the school year.
I also kind of feel that the burden is on him to protect his own rights. I've been very generous because I love my son and I respect his Dad. However, he needs to shell out the bucks and get some legal advice. I did when he tried to get me to sign a parenting plan.
I'm sorry if that makes me sound like Satan.
