Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Custody
My boyfriend is trying to get custody of his kids, but he only has a two bedroom apartment and he has two kids, an 11 year old boy and a 13 year old girl, so they would have to share a bedroom. I heard that there was and age limit to how long a brother and sister could share a bedroom. What is the age limit in Illinois for this and would this affect his custody case?

Re: Custody
Greetings -
In Illinois the courts view this situation on
a case by case basis. Assuming your boyfriend
has a separate livingroom or other room with
a pullout bed for either child, in addition
to the two bedrooms, that could be worked out.
I do hope that your boyfriend has a lawyer.
He should not try to do this on his own. Should
you have any additional questions, I will be
happy to answer them.
