Q: Do I have to have a separate room for my daughter in order to win custody. Currently temp time share. Want sleepovers.
I have a 4 year old daughter. I am currently going threw a divorce. my Divorce lawyer tells me that I have to get my own place. I live with my brother and I have my own room. I am on the lease now. I told my DL that I can give my daughter my room and I can set up the livingroom for myself. So it shows that she has her own room. My DL said, that would not work and it will not be allowed. I have to have my own place.
My DL said that I have to have my own room and my daughter has to have her own room. I have to show that i am capable of taking care of myself and my daughter. Which I understand, but I have friends and coworkers that has won custody battles with just an efficiency. I don't understand why I can't neither.
Straight forward, Can I get an efficiency or a 1 bedroom apartment and still be able to win custody of my daughter. Even if it's not 50/50, I just want to win custody and sleepovers with my baby. I live in Miami, Florida.
