    Default Can My Ex Make Me Move

    I live in Florida. Nine months ago my ex-fiance and I moved from Fort Lauderdale to Daytona Beach to build a life away from the crime and overcrowding in South Florida. Things were great... or so I thought. Then my ex-fiance made the decision to leave my sons & I to return home to South Florida just when things started to look promising up here. He is a firefighter down south and was recently offered a position with a department up here. To make a long story short, he left us and the house to go live back at home with his mom who, may I add, is a HUGE influence on his life. Now that he's back down there and we can't come to an agreement as far as visitation goes, he's saying in his defense that I am being stubborn and I just won't move back to Fort Lauderdale because I'm upset that we didn't work out. But the truth is, I'm happy with the life we created here, and obviously at one point he was too or we wouldn't have bought a house here together. He's also saying that it's selfish of me to want to stay here because it's safer and there's less crime and because I just simply don't like South Florida. Then he's also bringing up how it's unfair to the kids because a lot of their family is in South Florida which includes himself, his immediate family, my mom (who's an alcoholic and I'm not very close with), my dad (who didn't raise me and is moving away soon to North Carolina) and my sister. Granted we do have a lot of family down south and the only people here are my best friend and her family, who are like a second family to me. But regardless, this was never an issue before until he decided to move back and now because I'm not making the decision to follow him back down there he's bringing this all to my attention as if it will work in his favor come time we go to court... my question is can he make me move back to South Florida just because he chose to leave??

    Nope. He can't.
