QUESTION

Sleeping arrangements for children?

Asked on Aug 28th, 2013 on Family Law - California
More details to this question:
My ex and I have a court agreement that my children will sleep in their own beds because I was having issues with him allowing my son (7) to sleep in bed with his girlfriend (20). My ex is 34. He continues to do this and my kids keep telling me they are not sleeping in their own beds, but sleeping with the girlfriend, my ex, etc. I feel this is an issue, especially for an almost 8 year old boy. Among this, there's also other issues such as him refusing to meet me at our half way point (also court ordered). I have full custody because of ongoing problems with him. He says he lives with his dad, but is pretty much living with his girlfriends parents where my kids do not have their own rooms or even beds. I'm at a loss. At what point is a 730 evaluation necessary?

It sounds like you may want to file a Request for Order to change the existing visitation schedule to one in which the father does not have overnights with the children.  It is inappropriate for the dad to allow your child or children to sleep with his girlfriend.  Further, it is a violation of your existing court order. Make sure to document all the times that he has violated the court order as well as this inappropriate sleeping arrangement.  Usually a 730 evaluation is not needed because you are not fighting over custody of the child.  This is really a matter of a change to the visitation schedule.
