I was curious about the betrayed husbands and what life is like without their children. How far did she move them from you? Me - 130 miles (2.5hrs)<p>Did she take them out of the state? Me - Yes (with court approval, not mine)<p>How many children and what age when they moved? Me - 1 daughter, 4 years old when moved<p>It's still a woman's world out there in this department. I miss my daughter terribly and now see her growth in spurts. It's very hard to be involved in the education process under the circumstances.

Yep catamount, you were screwed. What was the basis for her getting custody? Just because she sits down to pee?<p>I'm better off than you. My X didn't seek any more than 50/50 custody, although she threatened to. I think her attorney probably convinced her that - at least in this US state, Maryland - being a mother gets you no more than being a father. On the flip side, being faithful gets you no more than being an adulterer.<p>Anyway, we live only a few miles apart and stick to 50/50 for our 13 yo son. Who knows, though, what HE'LL choose to do in the near future as far as living arrangements.

I'll speak for my H. He got custody of their 3 children when she moved out to live with her OM.<p>He has now moved 1600 miles away when we got married. She has not been a very involved mother since her affair anyway. And for several reasons we feel the children are better off far from her with as little contact as possible.<p>....<p>In my previous marriage, I tried to move out with our son as my H was the WS and abusive. He protested in court and I was not allowed to take our son. So I moved back in. It was another 4 years before he finally told me I could take our son as long as I got the h3ll out of dodge.
