QUESTION

Sleeping Arrangements

Asked on Oct 10th, 2020 on Family Law - Florida
More details to this question:
We have joint custody, my ex husband lives in a room and shares a bed with our 10yr. It was to be temporary because of the divorce but it's been 4yrs and he doesn't seem interested to change it. She's started puberty now and I'm very concerned. With me she has her own room and bathroom. What does FL law require? What can I do?

Thank you for your question. You should check with the attorney who handled your divorce to see if the Final Judgment (or perhaps you have a Marital Settlement Agreement) made any provision for revisiting the timesharing schedule as your daughter ages. You are right to be concerned about the particular sleeping arrangement at your ex-husband’s residence and you should discuss this with your divorce lawyer. This practice of your ex-husband’s may be psychologically injurious to your daughter or perhaps not, but your ex-husband should be aware that it may be time for either a roll-away bed or a sofa pull-out in his living room. If he agrees to this, your problem should be resolved
