Birdnesting allows children to remain in one stable home while parents alternate living arrangements to minimize disruption. While it appears advantageous for maintaining stability and happiness for kids post-divorce, this approach can be challenging due to financial burdens and the potential for conflict between parents. Sharing a home, despite not living together, can complicate everyday life and require clear communication about responsibilities. Overall, birdnesting isn’t suitable for every family and requires flexibility and cooperation.
Much like how birds actually nest (hence the name), "birdnesting" in divorce is when the kids stay in one home (their "nest"), and the parents are the ones who travel back and forth to care for them.
It sounds idyllic, right? And in a world where everyone wants their kids to be happy and stable despite a divorce in the family, it sounds like a no-brainer. But there's a lot to consider in birdnesting.
