A: There's no law against it. In a custody dispute between two parents, such an arrangement (among many other factors) may be considered in deciding which parent can provide the best home environment to their children. Your question has too few facts to place it into any legal context. In poor economic times and financial distress, it is not uncommon for a family or a single parent to find themselves and their children living in a hotel room or other single room. It's better than sleeping in their car or in the street, or even in a group homeless shelter. But "can" they? Of course they can. Many are doing so.
