I know this is a little redundant now, but I just wanted to post this news article that I read today on news.com.au.

Basically a family moved to a remote mining area for the father's / husband's work, and then they separated. The mother / wife wanted to moved back to their home town where they'd spent most of the children's life but the court ordered that if she wanted to move, she wouldn't get full custody.

I'm not entirely sure how it relates to your personal circumstances, and you've already been given great advice by people a whole lot more knowledgable than myself, but something like this might make you feel a little bit better when you really need it?
