It\u2019s divorce, done differently.<\/p>\n

An unusual trend has emerged among separating parents eager to protect their offspring from the devastating effects of divorce.<\/p>\n

After many splits, the family home is sold, leading to upheaval for children forced to shuttle between two new places.<\/p>\n

But in a \u201cbird-nesting divorce,\u201d the home stays in the family, with the separated parents staying at the residence on a rotating basis.<\/p>\n

The unconventional arrangement provides kids with a sense of stability and continuity, according to experts and couples who are squawking about its benefits.<\/p>\n

A 2014 paper<\/a> published by the American College of Pediatricians<\/a> stated that divorce has been shown to \u201cdiminish a child\u2019s future competence in all areas of life, including family relationships, education, emotional well-being, and future earning power.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, a bird-nesting divorce might avoid or diminish these adverse effects \u2014 and for many families, it also makes financial sense.<\/p>\n
