[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do 50-50 and we as parents shuffle Around[/quote]

This is the only way to do it. The parents who make the decision to break up the family should be the ones doing the shuffling around.[/quote]
I think only married people advocate for this. I am married, but if I ever got divorced, no way would I agree to this. The best part of being divorced would be not having to deal with your ex’s stuff and their mess - taking turns in the same house means that there’s still a million reasons to fight, with no clean break. It’s the worst of both worlds; all the hassles of living together with none of the benefits. If you can make this work; you should just  stay married.[/quote]  It's called family nesting and I know a family who have been doing this for 10 years.   Kids stay in the family home and the parents go back and forth between an apartment.  I get why it wouldn't work for everyone, but it was important to them both, that the divorce caused as little distraction for the kids as possible.[/quote]

Cost and often the parents don't cooperate.  So, what happens when Mom has an affair and moves in with the AP?  Dad should have to share a home with the AP?  What if that AP has kids?  Do they go to the house for visits or to live on Mom's time?  Or, the reverse with Dad?[/quote]
