I posted this on D/D and thought I would throw it out here.
Anyone know of anyone doing a birdsnest custody where the kids stay in the home and the parents alternative moving back and forth between their apartment and the family house? My STBXH suggested this however he wants us to share a 1 bedroom apt for a year until the financial aspect of the D is settled out and this gives him time to decide what to do with the house.
He will either have to sell or buy me out.

I am not real keen on this one, because he brought it up just as I was ready to sign a lease and move with the DD's. He wants joint custody which is probably OK, because it may force him to actually spend time with his children. I'm not sure I want to be away from them that much, since I have been with them 24/7 since last fall.

I am sure it is just another ploy. He still has yet to actually fill out the petition although I told him he should get that going since it takes 120 days before anything can happen. He still says he wants the D.....why do the WS drag their feet if they really want out?
