[b][Hauppauge, July 27, 2016][/b] – The Law Offices of Ian S. Mednick assists clients in establishing a new, smarter type of shared custody arrangement, popularly known as “bird’s nest parenting.” Setting up a single home for the children eliminates the need for them to relocate constantly and stressfully. Parents can utilize a single, organized living space for them to raise their children while minimizing the negative impacts of separation.

[b]The Practice[/b]

The widely accepted origin for the bird’s nest custody arrangement involves a court ruling made in Virginia. In 2000, a trial separation led to a couple deciding that it would be best for their two children to continue residing in their family home.

The mother would move in with the children during weekdays, leaving as the father has his turn staying during weekends. The format quickly gained traction, influencing countless divorce proceedings in the country and even inspiring two television shows.

With representation from The Law Offices of Ian S. Mednick, couples can arrange their own bird’s nest, setting a schedule for both parents’ residence while children go about their development without relocating. This setup makes the separation easier on the children, as opposed to the common practice of having them move between residences, disrupting their opportunity to establish an educational and social foothold in any one locale.

This type of arrangement is not typically one that a Judge in New York would direct and is more for couples who are looking to resolve their custody issues and their divorce without litigation.

Child custody cases vary depending on several factors. The amiability of the divorcees, location, the number and age of children, or even the involvement of immediate family can all make custody battles either simpler or far more problematic. With The Law Offices of Ian S. Mednick, clients can get through the typically messy process of divorce without much hassle.
