Schedule the adult’s arrival

Record when one parent’s time ends and the next begins. Include a practical plan for keys, access, and any overlap. The address may stay the same while responsibility changes.

Agree how the home is left

Choose a short shared checklist: food that needs using, laundry still in progress, medication or school notices, and anything broken. Keep household maintenance separate from comments about each other’s habits.

Discuss costs before they pile up

List which home costs are shared and how purchases will be recorded. A grocery bill, repair, and child’s activity fee may need different treatment. Record the agreement instead of assuming every cost will be divided equally.

Review whether it still works

Choose a date to discuss the arrangement, including privacy, costs, and each adult’s other accommodation. CoFam can show whose care period it is and track shared expenses. Keep a separate agreement about the shared home and when you will review the arrangement.

Does nesting require equal time?

The living arrangement and the care schedule are separate choices. Use the dates in your actual agreement.

Does CoFam have a separate nesting mode?

No. Use the ordinary schedule and shared expense tools for the arrangements you have agreed.
