What the court in Minnesota said is that the party with visitation has to pay all the costs of transportation to make that visitation happen. Maybe it has changed in recent years, but that's how it was explained to me way back when. You're the one that is moving, so that's another argument in her favor. Whatever happens, you can certainly look at the 2 hour drive as some quality time with your son where you can talk a lot and stop at a restaurant together partway on the trip. The good news is you won't be living near her. The bad news is that it means the commute is longer. Also -- food for thought -- my son decided he wanted to live with his father when he turned 14. So even though I had full custody and his father had visitation, it did not stay that way permanently. When that change happened, I wound up paying my ex child support. At least he was reasonable enough to request that I pay to him the same amount he paid to me. If they had used my income as a guideline I would have paid more than twice what he did.
