is it the law that children of different sexes have to have seperate bedrooms?

Answer 1

Nope

Answer 2

"A house is considered to be overcrowded if 2 persons aged 10 years or more of the opposite sex (other than husband or civil partner and wife or civil partner) have to sleep in the same room. The Act also details the maximum number of people allowed for a given number of rooms or a given room floor area."
This was taken from UK visa and housing applications website,whilst I am unsure if it is just not allowed due to personal living space I do believe from someone who is a foster parent,that they are not allowed to put different sex children together in a bedroom at all if possible but never over the age of 10.On a personal level I think a much younger age is preferential 4 or 5 years of age no later...

Answer 3

If you live in your own home, then no. You can distribute the bedrooms any way you see fit.

If, however, you are living in council accomodation then yes, once a child reaches a certain age, they have to have separate bedrooms, even if it means you get moved into a bigger council house just for being too stupid to say no or use a condom.

Sorry. I'm just a bit bitter that I work my butt off and can't afford to buy my own house but someone I know has just got "accidentally" pregnant for the fourth time (3 different fathers) so will soon be moved into an even bigger house on me and other UK Tax Payers and I think it absolutely stinks.

Answer 4

In the US, this would be a matter for the state legislature to decide, and it makes a difference whether we are talking about a parent's biological children, or adopted/foster children.

While I don't know of any state law that requires separate bedrooms (there are still places where one can find a family of five or more living in a single room) in all cases, many adoption/foster agencies do require separate bedrooms for opposite sex children above a certain age.

Answer 5

Never heard about such a thing. But there might be places in the world where it is so...
Keep in mind, there are places (probably also in the US) where people are poor and they have to spare a few rooms, so maybe 3 or more people are sleeping in same room. Would not make sense to have separate bedrooms because of the sexes.

Then again, it might be impossible for the teenagers in our days to share a bedroom (no matter the sexes).

Answer 6

Yes

Children over the age of 12 and of opposite sex have to have separate bedrooms

Answer 7

depends on alot of factors, rather you own your home for one. I know my husband is in the military and when i had my son we were due to leave the base in a few months and didnt want to move.......so we stayed in our 2 br apt by telling them the baby was staying in our room....when we moved we were told we had to take a 3 br house so that my son and daughter wouldnt be togehter because they were more than 2 years apart.....public housing has similar rules and some landlords also have rules regarding this ( mostly to make you spend more for a bigger place probably)

Answer 8

No law but i do know when they reach certain age if you are in council property they are intitled to a different bedroom even when same sex it goes by age.

Answer 9

I think after they reach either 9 for a girl and 11 for a boy? But if you are looking to be rehomed within the council housing then they make their own rules up as they go along!

Answer 10

If you mean for a council house i think when the children reach a certain age you are eligible for a house with separate rooms for them
