Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
non custodial provisions
My ex-husband is living with his girlfriend and her son in a 2 bedroom apartment. When our son visits, he sleeps on the couch because there is no bed or bedroom for him. Is this considered ''safe and proper'' accommodations which is what's stated in my divorce papers? Also, the ex-husband flip flops my child from his parents to the girlfriends. A few weekends at the grandparents house and a few weekends at the girlfriends house. Is this considered a ''stable'' environment ?

Re: non custodial provisions
Depends. In relation to what? Compared to most people, no. Compared to a crack house, yes. The court is always stuck with the best possible scenario given the facts of that case, not the best possible scenario if money was no object.
Plenty of poor people raise kids, and attention/love is the most important thing the court wants kids to have from their parents, not fancy furniture.
