This report summarizes the main results of the ERC Starting Grant project "MobileKids: Children in multi-local, post-separation families", funded by the European Research Council and led by prof. Laura Merla. This sociological research aims to understand how Shared physical custody (SPC), and the mobility and multilocality that result from this type of post-divorce family arrangement, affect children aged 10-16. More specifically, the aim is to understand how these (young) adolescents cope (or not) with this lifestyle marked by the alternation between two living places, to uncover the diversity of experiences lived by these children, and to identify their needs, based on their own accounts. This implies determining how, and in what circumstances, children appropriate this way of life and develop new ways of acting and being in the world, or "habitus" (Bourdieu, 1979, 1997) specific to multilocality, mobility and the experience of intermittent co-presence and absence.
