Briefly, the parties maintain the former family residence for the children and then rotate during their respective visitation times. Each parent maintains a separate residence where they live when it is not their turn at the bird nest. It would be costly to maintain three residences and most divorcing couples are already strapped financially.

In the United States "Bird Nest Custody" was the result of a ruling in Virginia more than 20 years ago. It is still not commonly known, not commonly used and is not part of any federal or state custody laws. It was the ruling in Lamont v Lamont. It's has been used by a couple of celebrities but few people would have the resources to carry out such a plan. There is a reason it never "caught on": It's expensive and impractical in most cases. Most divorced families in this age are struggling just to make ends meet. They hardly have the resources to indulge in the bird nest concept. In fact, this absurd concept would make it impossible for the parties to move on.
