A more equitable guard for parents, a little fulfilled? … In theory, The alternating residence allows children to keep their bearings. And to be set up, the ex-spouses are required to meet several conditions: A good understanding, proximity to residence, a welcome suitable for the child (with the possibility of offering him a room for example), and finally, the availability and presence of the parent.
