Legal Question in Family Law in California
I am breaking up with my boyfriend and I am going to be moving to a two bedroom apartment with 3 children and myself. The children are 13 (female), 9 (male), and 3 (female).
I can only afford a two bedroom I will put a set of bunk beds in and a toddler bed. The baby typically sleeps with me in my bed but I will put a toddler bed in for the sake of her having her own space.
Are there rules in the state of California that state age or gender limits to share a room?
Any advice would be helpful. We are civil now but in case he decides to take me to court will he have any legal ground on sleeping arrangements in my home.

If father objects, there may be court concerns about the children sharing a bedroom in the fashion you described. Your case deserves the careful attention of an experienced family law attorney in an office consultation.
Many parents in situations like yours buy a pull out couch or futon for the living room. Then you can easily switch to your 9 year old having his own room. This is as much a practical matter as a legal one; as your 13 and 9 years old children will increasingly require more privacy.
