re: Any OTers With Long Distance Shared Parenting Agreements

My folks split when I was 8 with 2 younger siblings. At first we only saw our mom per the court agreement, but as they (my parents) got older they realized what is best for the kids is what they should do. By the time I was driving they had already quit acting like children and whomever was better at parenting in each situation parent. Hell I spent the night wherever I wanted by the time I was in high school.

I say all of that to say that whatever is best for your daughter is what you need to fight tooth and nail for. The four of you (You, mom, stepmom, and stepdad) need to sit down and discuss how everything is going to work. You owe it to your kid to do what is best for her.

I do also know that unless something has changed in the last 5 years, you as the father have to sign permission allowing your child out of the country.
