A: That answer depends on a variety of factors. How many children there are, their ages, if they have special needs, etc. The size is less important than cleanliness and a history of rent and bills being paid on time. But in general, all children should have a clean, safe bed to sleep in and the house should be child proof.

A: The court will look at the safety and cleanliness of the home, as well as adequate space for the children in determining whether the home is appropriate for your children.
