@ KlausVestner: You are a good man. Wishing you and your family the best.

P.S. You would probably be best suited going for a legal consultation or seeking advice at the High Court

Also like someone pointed out earlier, the DMV area is very expensive. If his salary increment is $15,000 and their cost of living goes up by $20,000, then the move may not be worth it. All of the pros and cons should be discussed with his wife

That is a whole lot of moving. They have been living an almost like nomads, and that can be unsettling for some people. Knowing that there is an end in sight, may make all the difference.

He should speak to her nicely, toast her into moving. No need for ghara ghara.

What are her fears? Is she worried that she won't be able to get a job or might end up with a lower paying job at the new location? All he has to do is loosen the purse strings that way she doesn't feel she has to beg for every little thing she wants to purchase.
Is she worried about moving the kids so much? He can convince her that this sacrifice will be beneficial to the whole family in the long run.

Everything is about manner of approach. Ghara ghara and ultimatums never got anyone, anywhere

I hope she is not pregnant yet, because that would make things so much easier. She should leave the Union. A man who would lie about such things, can kill. A better man for her is out there

SIRTee15:
Pls explain tax stuff or u meant tax return.
But I thought tax return is for low income earners ........security guard no be low income earner?
So why should his ex report him, besides I doubt she qualifies since she be nurse.
Then why is it tied with kids?

Everyone has to file their taxes. Being able to claim a dependent (child/children) helps since it reduces a persons tax liability or may even help you to get money back from the IRS. A single person who earns $100K and paid $25K in taxes may still owe the IRS come tax filing season. But claiming a dependent on their tax form may reduce that liability to zero or may even entitle them to get some of the taxes they paid, back.
Now only the parent that lives/ has lived with the child for 7 months out of the preceding year, can claim the child.
Muhammadu Igomigoh claimed the 3 children of his wife that he brought from Nigeria. He obviously had no right to claim/attempt to claim the children of his girlfriend, who reside at a different address and are not part of his household. He was being greedy and what he did was illegal

Innoson doing big things. Kudo's to them
