Does a child need their own bed in the eyes of the court?

[wiseoldbee]

My ex husband is apparently going to go to court to gain access to our son. He has access at the moment but no over night stays for many many reasons.

My ex lives with his girlfriend and her 3 children.

My son would not have his own bed at their house. He would have to sleep in my ex and his partners bed and apparently his partner would sleep on the sofa during these nights. They are also expecting a baby so the house will become more crowded.

Would the courts/cafcass see it as acceptable for a child to stay over night and to sleep in a shared bed?

He is almost 6.

I could written this myself, I'm in the same situation.
My ex refuses and ignores everything I say and any contact I offer.
He and now his gf (she called me last night and told me she loves my DD although collectively she's spent no more than 36 hours with her) are saying I'm the problem and I'm stopping contact.

I've offered medation but I'm happy to go to court, they too are planning a baby which would make 5 children in a 2 bed flat then plus my DD with no bed.

I was told there was no room for a bed, she can share with her dad.

Have you got any updates? @wiseoldbee
