Nosy question for anyone who's divorced. Do you and your ex have any sort of agreement -- formal or informal -- to live close to each other (say, within 50 or 100 miles or something) so that both parents get to see their kids regularly without it being too much of a hassle?

don't know who to tag other than greencrayon, who sounds like she doesn't have anything like that.

My divorced parents agreed to stay in the same county. I don't know if that was a verbal or written agreement.

Yeah, that was my inspiration for the question. As part of figuring out mom's situation I asked dad to see just what she was eligible for based on the divorce decree. There was a section in there what would happen if one parent wanted to move more than 100 miles away from the other one. (There was also a mind-numbingly complex formula about which parent got the kids for which holidays. zomg groan).

For whatever reason, I thought it was nice that two people who hated each other could agree that the other one might should be able to see their kids regularly.
