%X Bird’s nest custody is one of the versions of shared parenting. In this system, children stay in one house, and parents move in and out at different times. This form of custody is practiced in affluent Western countries, while in Poland it enjoys little interest due to the need to have free premises where the child could live and the costs associated with its purchase or rent. However, it is worth analyzing the current possibilities of establishing bird’s nest custody in the light of Polish law, as well as potential problems related to its application, because this model of shared parenting seems to be a good option for the child, as it has all the advantages of traditional shared parenting (ensuring contact with both parents, preventing isolation child from one of the parents), while eliminating its primary disadvantage, i.e. the child’s life instability, manifested in the need to move between two homes.
