Seems like a really good solution for amicable divorces. When there is a lot of conflict in the relationship, it's unlikely to work well. And really the latter describes most divorces I've seen. It seems like there is almost always one spouse who doesn't want to play well at the end.

It also requires the people involved be making a good bit of money, or having previously lived well below their means. Whoever is not staying with the child at that time needs a place to live, which generally costs a significant amount, even for a small apartment.

Indeed, basically you need 3 residences or 2 shared residences and people who are tolerable to live in the same place with you (even if not at the same time). All of this takes money and the ability to tolerate someone you couldn't live with previously.
