Nesting hell...

Has anyone done what is called "Nesting"

My ex & I were ordered to have the KIDS stay in our home we owned together & we rotated out week to week. We did this for a year while going to court. It was HELL my ex set up listening devices, left the house nasty, put bleach in my body wash (told kids not to use & when I broke out, one child said daddy put this in there!) also rigged a cabinet to fall on me, telling kids not to open it, that there was a surprise in there for mommy! HELL I SAY!

So has anyone done NESTING?

I know!!! Our home is 3800 square feet & both of us went for custody hearing asking to stay in home... So that was the reasoning. The judge said this is common throughout the country for higher priced shared homes, blah blah. It sucked so bad!!!!

I remember a childhood girlfriends parents doing this but never heard the term... but they got along a lot better n both decided it was best for the child. I can't imagine the horror you faced having to do this with a hostile ex.

Although it seems pretty bad for the parents, especially if the situation is like yours, it certainly is better for the children and it makes sense that the court made that decision since it's the child's best interest unless there's a crazy person like your ex involved.

I agree, if both parents were on board with the health, happiness & loving development of the children... It could work but... In my case my ex didn't want just a divorce, he wanted & still wants to destroy me.

If you read the above comments you would have a better idea of the background. I thought for sure family law would be on the side of protection. It's not. And it's driving me nuts.
