moving across the country... WWYD?
posted 15th Jan
SO is from Newfoundland, we currently reside in British Columbia
SO's family still hasn't met DS and is going through a hard time, SO has asked me to move back to Newfoundland with him.
I have family there as well but my Mother is here, and reallly doesn't want me to go. she literally begged me not to take her grandson away. she thinks that if i move out there i will never come back...
which leads to the question, if i move to another province and things don't work the way i expect does my SO have the right to refuse me taking my child out of province? and what legal actions could or should i take to prevent that from happening?
SO promised he wouldn't do that to us, but if something happened and he was really pissed off i could see him doing it out of spite. I'm thinking of making him sign something before we even move...
WWYD??

in about 2 months I will be moving 1800 miles where my husband is from, but the only reason why I am moving is because I know it will better my families lives and I wouldn't be doing it if we weren't married. So in your case, I wouldn't do it unless it benefited all of you, not just him and his family.

Here is my thought. If you are worried about your SO telling you that you can't take your son out of the area, there are issues in the relationship and I wouldn't move.
I would gladly move anywhere with my husband. I know that no matter what, we will always be together and I don't have to worry about him saying "you can't move away with my kids".
That is just my opinion on the situation.

Yes he has the right to refuse you moving back to BC. I'm currently contemplating moving my family to Calgary.

it would benefit me in a few ways, i would get to see my little sister who is there, and my family will get to meet my son as well... i can go to school and still have income.
the only thing holding me back is my mother, I love my mom, and she has waited for so long to become a grandmother, and now im going to take him away from her, she is devastated.

You need to do what is right for your LO and no one else. Honestly Newfoundland will be better for him.

I am moving from MI to TX next week. My family is heart broken. I am going to miss them terribly. But it's for our family to be together. I feel you.
