Easy Home Furniture Rental

My divorce was final in August 2008. I basically gave her everything except the tools in the garage and furniture from a rental home. We have joint custody of our 7 year old daughter. I didn't seek 50/50 custody at the time because I was renting a room and didn't have my own house. I have a house now, just recently remarried (I know ... a bit fast ... but she's wonderful), and the same job I've had for years. I'm a good father and live a great example for my daughter. I can't say the same for her mother who got a live-in boyfriend right after the divorce, and gives hardly any structure to my daughter whose grades are failing. I want 50/50 custody so I can have my daughter with me more often. I only live a mile from her house.

I was told that it was too soon for me to go back for full custody, but was curious of any other opinions out there on the subject and if 50/50 custody is any easier.

Thanks,

Randy

Go fir bird net.


It’s a form of access or custody where the children stay in the former family residence and it is the parents who rotate in and out separately and on a negotiated schedule.

The children simply live at "home" and the separated or divorced parents take turns living with them there, but never at the same time.

The core element of this arrangement is that each parent maintains a separate residence where they live when it is not their turn at the "bird's nest". When one parent arrives for his/her designated time, the other vacates right away, so as to minimize or eliminate the presence of both at the same time.

At times, bird's nest access can be coupled with specified access with the other parent say, for example, for dinner one night a week.

Sometimes, this form of access or custody will end when the youngest child reaches the age of majority at which time, one parent either buys the other out of their interest, if any, in the former family residence, or it is sold and the proceeds divided pursuant to the matrimonial property regime or separation agreement.

The arrangement can be expensive as it generally requires that three separate residences be maintained, the "nest" and a separate residence for each parent.

The concept is somewhat novel and appears to have as its origin a Virginia case Lamont v Lamont.
In Canada, Greenough v Greenough was a ground-breaker case in that the Court implemented a bird's nest custody order even though it had not been asked for by either party. Justice Quinn, in Greenough stated:

"In Lamont ... the court made a bird’s nest custody arrangement in which the children (aged 3 and 5 years) remained in the home, with the mother staying in the home during the week and the father on the weekend. I think that the benefits of a bird’s nest order are best achieved where the children are able to stay in the matrimonial home, particularly if it has been the only residence that they have known....

"Time and time again I have seen cases (and this is one) where the children are being treated as Frisbees. In general, parents do not seem to appreciate the gross disruption to which children are subjected where one of the parents has frequent access. In this regard, I do not believe there must be evidence that the children are suffering before the court is free to act. To me, it is a matter of common sense. At the risk of falling prey to simplistic generalities, I am of the view that, given a choice, I do not see why anyone would select a living arrangement which involved so much movement from house to house."

The biggest hurdle is finding an attorney who works for you and not to just drain your wallet.

If you want to learn how to do all this go to Dads House in Yahoo Groups. There's an educational manual in the file section that can teach you what you need to know. The organization it came from is defunct due to attorneys that tried to take it over and make money from it.

Take the time to learn what you can and should do.

Furniture rental that makes transition easy and more comfortable. Renting furniture with Brook Furniture Rental is as easy as 1 2 3.

My landlord does not live in the state so she has all of our neighbors (4) spy on our townhouse and report any/all things we've done within a 24 hour period. It annoys me but now the house realtor has shown the house, only to complain to our landlord that it was not clean. The house was not perfect but everything was off the floor, the floor was vacuumed, and the beds were made. Now my landlord is telling me i have to move our furniture so its easier to show the house. (example: A large TV in a corner must now be moved into a storage room). On top of all this the realtor has neglected to give us a 24 hour notice about showing the home. What can we do? The landlord will not quit harassing us about how the house isn't perfectly clean. Nothing is in the lease about showing the house except that if they want to show it they must give us a 24 hour notice....Thanks Guys!

Your landlord is NUTS!! He cannot tell you how to position your stuff, you MUST get 24 hour notice...that is actually a material breach of the lease. Tell the landlord that if HE wants it spotless, have HIM hire a maid. As long as the place is not trashed, tell him to go away or terminate the lease.
