ask your lawyer

I don't think that is a healthy arrangement. But you are at a disadvantage right now because you are on probation and have limited custody because of your drug use, so I don't know if your concerns will hold much water with the authorities. Talk to your daughter and ask her if she feels uncomfortable sleeping in the same room and that she has very little privacy. She how she reacts and what she says. Also discuss with your ex husband and ask him if there is any way that your daughter can have more privacy? You may be able to go to Legal Aid Society which is free or Child Protective Services in your area and discuss with them your concerns and see what they say. That is all you can do right now.

Well.........if you want my advice, then i will have to say that you need to call CPS or something. If there are two room and a basement, then why in the hell are they all in the basement?? Him and his son should share a room, and your daughter should have her own room! If you feel that something is going on, maybe you should talk to your daughter about this and see how she feels and if there is anything going on!! If she feels that she wants her own room and privacy then she should tell her father! But if that doesn't work then you need to try to do something about that! She is getting at the age of liking boys and becoming a lady!! Help her before it is to late!
Good Luck♥

No, I don't think there are any laws against your daughter sleeping in the same bed with her dad. There are only laws to protect her if he is sexually assaulting her. My sister slept in the same bed with our dad until she was 12. Maybe she wants to be close to him because what is going on with your situation. My sister had her own room but she started to sleep in the same bed with our dad when her mom was put in a mental institution for a year. She is now 14 and sleeps in her own bed. Unless she is complaining or shows a change in behavior or personality don't worry about it she will grow out of it and want her own space.

nicely I certainly have a buddy who's Daughter is 5 and he or she sleeps along with her father and mom each evening.Do I consider this No.She she could be snoozing in her own mattress or a minimum of not along with her Dad and lady buddy.She desires to be slightly extra self sustaining at this age and the adults nee there area.I recommend a cover a mattress or a futon or something of the character for there residing house while she is over there.

if there's 2 other rooms in the house and they are sleeping in the attic i'd be getting the police to go over and have a look, remenber the silence of the lambs he has the women in the basement so people wouldn't hear their cries for help. the thing i don't get with addicts is they are so comsumed in their fu**ed up existance they forget about the poor children they bring into the world, and the children get hurt by other villians in their lives cause their mothers are chasing a fix. so wake up to yourself and stay clean.

It really doesn't matter what you was in the past because no matter what those children will always be your children as well as his, yes their is a law that prohibits children from sleeping in the same bed as an adult, I strongly advise you to go to someone in your area and speak to them it could be someone at child protective service or your lawyer am a mother of two so believe me I know.

I don't imagine it's against the law so long as they're in separate beds. You should be able to find a free legal clinic in your area that can answer your question.

You have every right to be worried about your children. Recovering addict or not. He does not have more right to your children than you do. It's not against the law if there is no evidence of abuse.Talk to him about it, and explain that it makes you uncomfortable and question your children about it to be sure there is no abuse going on. Tell him what your feelings are on this issue and work to resolve it.

Its addict not attic and your daughter doesn't need to be sleeping in the same room as her dad DSS child services should be contacted because his son doesn't need to be in the same room either. Call child welfare and have them investigate they would be the ones that would be able to determine things in this situation.

why don't you ask her if she's OK with it, maybe she just likes being around people when she's asleep, maybe it makes her feel safe. don't accuse people of crap unless you know you have some evidence
and its addict, not attic.
