My husband and I separated after 12 years. We have 4 kids together and I had to move in with my parents which is about 45 minutes away from “our” house. The kids stay with me from Monday night until Friday night. My car decided to end up breaking down also 
My dilemma is that I feel like since the kids are with me on almost all school days, I would like them to go to school here…. He doesn’t agree. Help!! I don’t know what to do?!
This is why when my husband I separated, we had the house next door. It’s way too hard to live so far and share custody and not disrupt their lives by 10000%. We also still went to church together every week—also to keep their routines the same. We ultimately reconciled after a few years apart.
I know it’s tiresome, but to keep their lives left with the least amount of change, I would drive them to their school those four days a week. Maybe when you’re a bit more stable you can move to where you’re closer to their school.
Good luck!
