Life in the nest

How the nesting model works after a divorce


Some parents opt for the nest model after a separation. In this model, the children remain together in the former shared home. The parents each look for a second place to live and take turns coming to the family home to look after the children. This model requires a peaceful separation, good communication between the separated parents and a willingness to run a household together. For the children, it has the advantage that they do not have to change homes and only have one home. In addition, the children experience that friendly coexistence is possible even after a separation.

Open and respectful communication between the parents is a prerequisite for the nest model to work. Clear agreements and regular meetings are a matter of course. Who buys what? Who cleans the floor? Who does the laundry? In any case, a shared calendar on which you coordinate all appointments is very useful. This way, you know who is where and when and what still needs to be done. A joint household photo is also a good way of paying for the family home, shopping and so on. Perhaps the nest model is something for you too?

Seek professional advice if there are differences that you cannot resolve together.
