I really want to post some questions but he isn't really a friend, just an older guy I knew in high school.
I'd love to know why he didn't just marry her before he moved away if she was insecure about the change being for the best.
Then again, 15 years and all these kids later and she didn't require a marriage certificate so why change it now.

Yeah. Even if he stayed (or moved back at this point), she should ask herself a few questions as well.
Like why stay with a man who was willing to breed you out (as this one guy I know always likes to say) but not willing to marry you???
Why stay with a man who was willing to leave you behind to be a single parent and raise four kids on your own? Even if he got a job and was sending huge checks, raising four kids takes work! It's just selfish. Dude ain't going off to war; he's moving just to kick it!
I had (HAD!) a friend who did something similar. After his divorce, he moved to take another job out of state leaving his ex-wife to raise their two kids as a single parent. I gave him HELL!! He should have just continued working at his old job or gotten a new job near his kids. So when deciding whether to take one kid to practice or tutor the other kid, one kid will always get the short end of the stick or the ex-wife gotta rely on a stranger to pick up his slack. Punk! I refuse to deal with anyone who is so selfish as to leave their kids behind. I really told him off especially because his parents were married and lived in the same town for the benefit of their entire family. I'm sure at some point all our parents would have loved to have started over in some way but they stayed and sacrificed for the greater good: their kids!
