You know, my wife wanted me to move to another town, and it was difficult for me to do so--because until I found another job we had NO money coming in. It took a few weeks. With today's economy, I couldn't see moving at all, unless my employer was able to arrange a transfer to another location for me. I can't move and not have a job again....I just can't do it.
I don't know a lot about how child support works, but why aren't your wages garnished, michiganmom? I thought if you were married to someone who owed CS, they could take it from you. I'm sure I've heard other posters say as much.
Leave him? not over this. I also wouldn't move just to be closer to a friend.
Boy, this one opens many doors. But first of all, location isnt really a reason to leave your SO, especially over a friend. I have friends and family scattered all over the US and if I were in a relationship, wouldnt move to where friends are simply to be close to them. I dont relocate for someone else...whether relationship or friend...I do it for ME.
Maybe you could have tested the waters before getting married, maybe reminding him you are looking in other areas of relocating, to see if he would take on an interest in going with, or see his reaction? Or maybe work is an issue too, some jobs just arent transferrable?
Sure, making it clear from the get-go...before anything even starts, needs to be set in stone, that you want to relocate to where ever eventually, and either he'll accept it or not.
But again, leaving your husband isnt the answer.
Heres a trick question: If one of you had a job that shipped you all over the place periodically (my dad did, in fact) what would the relationship be like?

That's not why you keep moving, is it?
Since he is not working Julia there is nothing to garnish. No, a court will not usually go after or consider the new spouses income, so michiganmom can't be forced to pay his child support.
