Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

Divorce 1
I am a divorced non-custodial father that lives about 8 hours or 400 miles from where my daughter resides with her mother. We have been divorced for about 4 years now. When we got divorced my ex moved off the 400 miles away from me. The judge required that we meet half way in a designated area and we have been doing that. If I chose to move to that designated halfway point to lessen my financial burden of driving would i now be obligated to meet her at the newly established halfway point. the divorce decree designates a city to meet and makes no reference to a halfway point. Also, could this be grounds for the custodial parent to request a modification requesting that we meet halfway based on the new total distance. Considering that my ex is the one that created this burdensome distance issue to begin with u would think that would have some bearing on a judges decision but who knows ???? �Any help would be appreciated.�

Any change that is substantial such as 400 additional miles, allows you to file for a modification of the custody decree.
