Document background
The Nesting Separation Agreement emerged as a child-focused alternative to traditional custody arrangements in the United States. This document is specifically used when separating parents choose to maintain a shared family home where their children permanently reside, while the parents alternate staying in the home according to an agreed schedule. The agreement covers essential aspects such as residence rotation schedules, expense sharing, maintenance responsibilities, and rules for the shared space. It's particularly relevant when parents prioritize their children's stability during separation but can't or don't wish to continue living together permanently. The document typically requires careful consideration of state-specific family law requirements and should be drafted with professional legal guidance.
