Birdnesting Co-Parenting: A Comparative Study in Slovenia and European Union Countries

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of birdnesting co-parenting arrangements within the legal and cultural context of the European Union (EU). Birdnesting, a unique cohabitation arrangement where divorced or separated parents rotate in and out of a shared residence while the children remain in a stable environment, has gained attention for its potential benefits and challenges. The paper explores the legal frameworks, cultural acceptance, and practical implications of birdnesting in various EU member states. Additionally, it discusses the impact of birdnesting on children’s well-being and the potential for its inclusion in family law policies across the EU
