Sleeping arrangements with non-custodial parent
My ex-husband does not have a bed
for our 8 year old daughter to sleep in
while she visits. He has her sleep with
him. I've discussed with him the need
for her to have her own bed, but he
has not gotten it yet. What can I do to
force him to provide her a bed? I've
offered him beds from our home, but
he doesn't want them, citing no room
for another bed.

Re: Sleeping arrangements with non-custodial parent
Hello. Your only option, in my opinion, is to
go back to court and ask the judge to order your
ex-husband to get a separate bed for your daughter. This will have to be done in the form
of a motion setting forth all of the facts. I
suggests you get a lawyer to represent you. Dad
needs to understand that your 8 year old daughter
needs separate sleeping arrangements. I will be
happy to answer any additional questions that you
might have.
