Your question is phrased in rather vague terms which makes it difficult to answer and even more difficult to assess whether the copnduct is appropriate or not.
Being illegal and being inappropriate are two very different things. However, eiher one can impact a family law case related to parenting time with minor children.
It is illegal for an adult to have "sexual contact" with a person under the age of 16 in all circumstances. The criminal sexual contact laws have many provisions, however, and other conduct may also be illegal.
