For what I know here in the US child support has nothing to do with visitation, they are two separate issues, as for the travel, here in TX varies after 150 miles, usually they split the cost but you could provably win in court to force her to pay for everything, especially if she makes more money and she was the one who moved. Now, courts very seldom change physical custody arrangements, I don't think you would loose that, I think it comes down to how bad is it for you to drive 80 miles or so every now and them comparing with spending a lot of money in lawyers. There are people here who know a lot more than I do about legal issues, may be they can help you better.
Good luck and welcome.

Actually, Thor, in my divorce decree it states that he is to pay the transport costs of any visitation if he wishes to exercise his rights. That includes picking up and returning. I have met him in a neutral public location just to keep him from being in my home and being nosey, but it's always been near me, and he had to pay for gas to get here and back each time. Granted, he lives in north OKC and I'm in Moore, so it's only 30 minutes each way, but that's still the decree.

Also, in our divorce decree it says that if either parent wishes to move more than 75 miles with the children that they have to notify the other parent in writing 60 days prior to moving and then the other parent has the right ot petition the court to stop them if there isn't good cause for the move (job, etc.). Since the mom didn't move the children, it should still be HER responsibility if it isn't in the custody agreement for them to split costs.

If it's a really big deal as far as costs for driving that far, you can fight it in court. But I'd be more upset over the unpaid child support and filing a citation of contempt for failure to pay on that one.

NOTE: I'm a law student, not a lawyer, this is a layman's opinion, not a professional.
