Dear tostayorgo:
Greetings. Yes, it could have an impact, but not in the way you are thinking. Child support will be the same if you lived close by or far away, as long as you are caring for the child the same amount of time. Now, negotiating for a property resolution with your spouse, when you are leaving the marital residence, may be substantially more difficult if you do not negotiate those terms prior to leaving the home. Thank you.
