My ex & I have a 5-year-old daughter. We separated when she was 12 months old, and for 4 and a half years, he had very little to do with her. After getting into a relationship with a woman that has two kids, he wanted a week on, week off.
I went to a solicitor. We had mediation and came to 4 nights per fortnight to be done up in the form of consent orders. During this time, I brought up the subject of relocation interstate as my entire family (which is not very big) is moving and I will have no family here whatsoever. When spoken about it when our daughter was about 2ish, he was ok with it but is now saying no.
As there was no timeline in the move, it was noted to be discussed at a later date. Since mediation, my family has sold up and is leaving at the end of the month. My ex has signed the consent orders but I have not and it has not been lodged to the court.
Another reason I have not signed is, I felt pressured by my solicitor to go for 4 nights when I only offered 2 to begin with, which is already way more than any contact he'd ever regularly had before. Anyway, just wanting to know what my chances of relocation are?
I know these cases are tricky but given that I will have no one here, and it has taken so long for him to want to be more involved in her life, will my chances be better?
