As for selling your house in CA, are you sure that realestate in Cali is dperessed? In NY it is insane. I thought it was a sellers market in most places right now, especially since interest rates are so low, people can afford to buy houses for more money so the price charged for houses has gone up.
As for custody of your daughter, have you looked into some type of joint custody? Either that or have you seen if her mother would move to Cali? If the house is paid for and is big enough maybe you can make an apartment for them and you'd be really close to your daughter.
I am just throwing ideas out for ya. I have never been in a situation like this or have any real knowledge of this but I figured the more ideas thrown out there for you the better.
I hope it all works out for you. It sounds like you really do love your daughter and I can imagine how hard of a spot you are in right now.
An apartment add on with my ex bitch and her new bf/fiance would not be a smart idea.
We do have joint custody but she lives with her mom and we are cool about a lot of things up to a point. We don't fight or anything but we also don't take any shit from each other at all.
I dunno I am taking a look at all the ideas and they aren't bad ones. I have about 2 years left in total retirement if i choose to but I am just seeing things get close faster than I wanted. I begin my active hunt for work on Monday and a couple friends are trying to hook me up where they are at.
To the person who suggested delivering pizzas.....I can't, too many tickets and they wouldn't touch me with a ten foot pole because of my driving record.
