Hello,

I potentially have an offer to relocate to Colorado - one that includes a buy out of my current home which is negative about $40K.

The relocation is a minimum 1 year committment but could go longer based on how hard it is to get back to California. I would expect the actual timeframe would be abotu 24 months.

My child is 14 and is a freshman this year and I enjoy being a parent.

He has always lived with his mother (primarily). I had him every other weekend and about 45% of the time for the last 4 years.

This opportunity will be great work experience and would help me reset my financial standing due to the real estate buy out.

Not delinquent on my mortgage or anything but am interested in getting a larger home as my son gets older. Hoping to provide him a place for when he is in college - one that doesnt feel cramped. Current place is 890 sq ft 2 bed.

I figured I could fly him out once a month and summers and breaks.

I spoke with him about it and he seems fine but you never know. Both his mother and I have new relationships (married) so he technically has 4 parents.

The 10 year plan decision seems to say move due to the work experience and financial set up.

The 3 year plan stinks because I am not here to experience the high school stuff with him. At least not like now.

Anyone with similar experience or thoughts?
