What does it mean to live with an ex for the children?

This entry describes living with an ex for the children as sharing a home after the romantic relationship has ended, usually so the children keep one address. It notes that the arrangement is not a marriage and not the same as staying married for the children, and that rooms, money, new partners, and an end date still have to be named.

What this entry does not do

It is not custody or housing advice, and it does not replace the entry on staying for the children.
