Marion it does sound like a tough situation. I don’t have any easy answer for you and definitely I wish you the best of luck no matter what direction you take. As a parent I understand the reluctance to uproot the kids. Having moved 3 times in the last 2 years with 2 kids I know it totally sucks. Mine are toddlers so at least uprooting them is not a problem at this point. With older kids I would imagine it is way worse.
I guess whatever your attorney advises you to do is the best recourse.
