Father sleeping in same bed as daughter

Please can anyone help with some advice I have a court order regarding my daughter who has to stay at her fathers every other weekend she is 9 years old and sleeping in the same bed as her father in a shared house that I do not know who the other tenants are. My daughter is quickly developing in her body and I have stated that I am not happy with them sharing a bed or in a shared house where she has no other privacy. Am I wrong for wanting the sleeping arrangements to stop as I don’t agree with this at all and feel I need to break my court order as social services recommend me to get a solicitor and I have tried this but I do not qualify for legal aid due to no proof of domestic abuse.

I think this might fare better in Relationships, OP?

How does your dd feel about it? Some kids like the closeness but others prefer their space. It might be ok in the short term but as she gets older she probably won't be too happy. Not sure what you can do about the shared living arrangements. Does he have sufficient money to get somewhere more suitable?

Didn't you post an identical thread the other day?

I feel like there’s more to this?!?
In an ideal world your daughter would have a bed/bedroom to herself, however my 9 yo dd often climbs into bed with us, I wouldn’t find it at all odd if she climbed in with dh and I wasn’t there.
The fact there is a court order etc, there’s obviously more to this..?!?

Do you have evidence of emotional abuse/ coercive control?
