[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suggest that parents who are divorcing include language in their settlement agreement that establishes an expectation that each parent commit to providing a suitable home for their children to visit even if that means not being able to live in as nice of an area as before the divorce or even if it's less "convenient" to the parent. I've seen situations where ex wives move into a new man's apartment that doesn't have room for her children, so the ex wife is  "unable" or choose not to actually hold up her part of the 50/50 physical custody agreement but still expects to get child support.[/quote]

This + language that supports getting the children to their pre-existing activities, school events, etc.  I've seen new spouses protest the amount of parenting required (for example, the husband remarries and dumps the kids on the new wife, who will tolerate them but certainly doesn't want to be inconvenienced with their soccer game an hour away) and the kids make all the sacrifices.
