California Laws on Children Sharing Bedrooms?
I've been trying to find out if there are any laws regarding children sharing bedrooms? I have found some answers, but none that are definite and none that really regard to my case. I was hoping for some help. I understand people say that children of the same sex can share bedrooms, but that's not really what I'm looking for. Here's my situation; My husband and I are currently going through a custody case and CPS case. His ex wife has 4 children in all. My husband had full custody of his daughter and while in our house the daughter (who is 2) got taken away by CPS. This is my step daughter. I know that sounds bad, but please don't judge. His ex wife has 2 boys (ages 5 and 4) and another daughter (age 1) who are living with her. (These children are not my husbands by the way). My husband's ex wife lives with her parents in a 3 bedroom house. The parents have a room. Her 2 boys have their own room. And her daughter shares a room with her. She is trying to fight to take my step daughter and says that my step daughter will also be sharing a room with her. All the same sexes will be divided, but she will have two kids under the age of 3 in her room while her other 2 will have their own room. Is this too many people for a 3 bedroom house including her two parents and having 2 children in her room with her and her current husband? Or do you know of any advice that we may be able to use in court? By the way, we live in California. She does not currently have my step daughter, as she is in foster care, but I'm trying to find out all the information I can. Thank you in advanced. Sorry my explanation is so long.
Is there a law on children sharing a bedroom if they are different sex in wisconsin?
a boy and girl can't share a bedroom after the oldest child reaches 5 years old. it's not really enforced unless someone makes a complaint and an investigation proves there is a problem. i was single parenting in a 2 bedroom apartment in wisconsin when my son was 5 and my daughter was almost 3. my nosy neighbors heard my children laughing in their room (through the wall) and complained to social services and suggested that they make my daughter sleep in my bedroom with me. social services came to investigate and found no problem with the sleeping arrangements or any other aspect of their sharing a room.
Children sharing a bed room whats legal?
I was wondering what is legal when it comes to children sharing a room. I was told in the state of Maine (where I live) all children regardless of age or sex must have there own room. Does any one know that to be true? I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old I am looking to put the into a room together but now I'm worried this is not allowed. Also Im pregnant and I was wondering if there is an age limit on putting children of the same sex in a room together. If my new baby is a boy is he allowed to share a room with my 6 year old? If any one could ease my mind about this it would make my day. Thank you!
Sharing Bedrooms?
In Michigan boys and girls can't share the same room past the age of 5. Here is a link to the state's laws on fostering kids, the same rules apply to ALL house hold's with in the state. Scroll down to page 6 rule (7). http://www.michigan.gov/documents/dhs/CP... it is also state law that no renter shall rent out a houseing unit of any kind to a family that has more members then suitable rooms. it still happens but if a nark calls it in the family will have to move into a unit that suites their size and the person that rented to them will more then likely get fined or loose their licence. I have seen it happen too many times. Kinda screwed for people that have no choice in the matter.
What are the benefits and drawbacks of children sharing a bedroom? Does it matter if the children are different genders?
It depends on both age and gender.Similar-aged, same gender kids are probably best to share a room. The similarity in ages means they'll have the same bedtime, similar toys (if one is young enough for choking hazard, the other probably is too), and similar desires for room decoration and design. However, same-sex siblings close in age can also fight more than other siblings (they're so similar they have a lot to fight over), and if they're not fighting, they can be comrades in mischief.Opposite gender is probably fine pre-puberty, but once one of them enters puberty, they aren't going to want an opposite-sex sibling seeing them changing. Issues like nocturnal emissions or starting a period also get a lot more embarrassing if an opposite-sex sibling is exposed to it. It's really not practical to give two opposite-sex teens the privacy they need unless they're in separate bedrooms.Sharing a room between kids with a large age differences are more of a mixed bag. A much younger sibling can be an inconvenience for an older sibling sharing a room with them, since they may damage the older child's stuff, pester the older child for attention in the middle of the night, etc. Meanwhile, younger children usually have an earlier bedtime, so the older child risks waking their sibling up if they move around in their room at certain times. Also, an older child's stuff may not be suitable or safe for a younger child - the older child may have toys their sibling could choke on, or may have books, magazines or videos with subject material that a younger child shouldn't be exposed to. However, some older siblings get a bit of a parental streak in their relationship with a much younger child, and they might love sharing a room with the younger child, especially if it also means taking on some of that child's care. As long as the older sibling is willing and able to take responsibility for their younger sibling safely, and can call on parents at any time, sharing a room may provide an ego boost to the older child and a much-needed break for the parents!
Children's bedroom laws Michigan?
Ok, it is neglectful to put a child in an unfinished area when you have a real bedroom. It is dangerous and careless. Until it is approved for someone to sleep there through your local codes office you can't be sure it is safe. I would think he would have a room before the grownups. Oh BTW~ It is immoral to live in a home unamrried with children especially during a custody battle. Most states forbid paramours shacking up and she can use that as enough reason to get custody back! I say let your daughter have the unfinished room and let your stepchild have the real bedroom. heaven forbid. That is usually the way the stepkids get the leftovers. They are equal to the kids and their needs come b4 the parents.
Are there any laws regarding opposite sex children to share a bedroom in Iowa?
To find out about laws....your best bet is to consult a lawyer. It may be worth the cost of one consultation. As it is....seems to me...if daddy don't like the arrangement....daddy can up his child support to help you afford a large place.
Are there any TN laws against a 12 year old girl sharing a room with her 3 yr old step sister?
I agree with you that it is not an absurd question -- and half of those "negative" answers are partially wrong. As far as Family Law, there is not a single law in any state regarding children sharing a bedroom with other children of either sex at any age, or with their parents, or anyone else. And there are laws for that stuff when you foster kids or adopt, so maybe that's why you thought they'd apply here, too? For example, I babysat my friend's niece for years. But when her parents took in a foster child, I had to go through this whole approval process before I could babysit the foster child -- or even visit the home! And I think there was something in all that about the foster child being required to have her own bedroom, but I could be wrong. It was a few years ago. As for the girls sharing a room, I think it's a good idea. Too many kids are not being properly socialized anymore, not being taught to really share or to sacrifice anything or to just put their own egos aside for other people. I think it will be good for them both. Good luck, and I hope that it all works out well!
