Summary/Abstract: Bird’s nest custody is one of the versions of shared parenting. In this system, children stay in onehouse, and parents move in and out at different times. This form of custody is practiced in affluentWestern countries, while in Poland it enjoys little interest due to the need to have free premiseswhere the child could live and the costs associated with its purchase or rent. However, it is worthanalyzing the current possibilities of establishing bird’s nest custody in the light of Polish law, aswell as potential problems related to its application, because this model of shared parenting seemsto be a good option for the child, as it has all the advantages of traditional shared parenting (en-suring contact with both parents, preventing isolation child from one of the parents), while elim-inating its primary disadvantage, i.e. the child’s life instability, manifested in the need to move be-tween two homes.
