What if your kids didn't have to split their lives between two homes after divorce? And what if giving them that stability also gave you more freedom and flexibility—not less?

A Practical Guide to Nested Co-Parenting challenges the standard divorce playbook that says children must bear the burden of continuously splitting their lives across two worlds after a divorce while the adults get to build stable lives for themselves.

Most people assume nesting means sacrificing your space, your healing, or your peace—but the opposite is true. When your kids have one stable home, you're free to live however and wherever you want without being tethered to an expensive school district. You can move in with a new partner without forcing your kids into a step-family dynamic. You can feel at ease knowing your children are safe and stable, no matter what's happening in your co-parent's personal life. And you can often do it all for less than the cost of maintaining two family-sized households in an expensive school district.

We're so conditioned by the conventional divorce narrative—and so eager to get as far away from our ex's as possible—that we miss the opportunity for a creative living solution that's actually better for everyone in the long run.

And what little conventional advice exists around nesting sets most families up to fail. The standard approach to nesting skips the emotional groundwork, rushes the transition, and leaves co-parents white-knuckling through an arrangement that prevents them from moving on. This guide walks you through the common pitfalls that derail most nesting attempts and offers a better path, one that leads to sustainable, long-term living stability for everyone involved—even if you and your ex aren't on the greatest terms.
