Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site and looking for information on Bird's nest custody. Does anyone have any experience with this?
My situation: I met my husband when I was 18, we got married after 7 years and have now been married for 13 years. We have 2 children, about to turn 11 and 5. We still manage the household well togeather but beyond that, we do not have a relationship. We have been attending counselling which has helped to some degree but not enough for me to stay in the marriage. I have not told my husband yet as I am gathering information and preparing as much as possible first. From what I have read so far, I am hoping we might be able to give Bird's Nest custody a try. I am thinking to propose that we rent an apartment close by and take turns staying with the children. I am hopeful we both care about the kids enough to make this type of arrangement work but any advice would be welcome. Also, how does this type of arrangement affect the division of property and what happens if one or both parties want to change to a more conventional arrangment in the future? Finally, at what point do we require a legal separation agreement? I am hoping that if we do require a lawyers, we can go through a collaborative process. I am banking on the fact that both my husband and I are very family-centric and we will continue to do what is best for the kids.
