Child custody- can father and daughter share the same room in different beds?

Dear Ms. Hix:      There is no specific law that prohibits a father/daughter from sleeping in the same room.  However, that said, most judges I have appeared before would definitely consider this in  crafting any time sharing agreement regarding your daughter.  Certainly, if your husband continues to have a one bedroom apartment, as your daughter grows it does become inappropriate for a father/ daughter to share the same room.           Florida Statute 61.13 (3) and in particular subparts (s) and (t) are the provisions that most closely address factors that the Court must consider in awarding timesharing under the circumstances you describe .  Often a court will decide that a child needs his/her own bedroom, or that a parent sleep on a couch when the child is there, but a court will not ban timesharing just because a parent cannot afford or does not have a larger home.  It could, however, affect how much time a court orders for a child to  spend with a parent.     I hope this helps.    Best of luck, Cindy S.
