The Balance Equation Explained using the Teenage World As a teenage boy scout, one merit badge that was problematic on the road to earning my Eagle Scout award was the personal management merit badge.

So, in order to maximize my productivity, I created an excel sheet of my own. Little did I know I would return to my scouting ways some seven year later to analyze my records using the balance equation. At the time my "balance sheet" was created, I had two accounts.

This might happen if, for example, the mother has custody of the children and lives in Edmonton, and decides to move back to Toronto to be with her family and wants to bring the children with her. It is unlikely that due to the distance, cost of airfare, hotels and other issues that the father would be able to continue with the visitation schedule previously agreed to in court. It is also unlikely that Dad would willingly choose to move to Toronto himself, although this may be an option that could be explored in mediation.The ConflictOne of the biggest conflicts with move away cases is it truly is a win-lose situation. Many adults see the divorce as a time to return to their homes or to move to a completely different community or area to get a new start or to do something they couldn't do when they were married.
