Room allocation for SC

House being purchased 50/50 deposit and mortgage.
4 bedrooms
I have one child full time.
He has one twice a week.
I am adamant she has her room decorated in her preferred style. A lovely bed. Wardrobe with her own belongings etc.

Shes not a guest.
We do however need a guest room and we (he) will have guests weekly. He needs a study.
So do we have the study combined with the guest room? That feels fair.
But then I wonder if he should contribute more as he has more use of more rooms.

What do you think?

Please don’t move in with him . You aren’t ready to blend your lives. It’s majorly complicated when SC are involved but this just sounds bonkers . You’re not ready to be SM . My SM is absolutely lovely now ( I’m early 40s) but she was miserable and resentful towards us when we were children and even though she didn’t say things directly we absolutely picked up on it which is sad and horrible. Ifs a massive commitment being in a child’s life but most importantly it’s a responsibility and I don’t think you seem ok with the child, the maintenance he pays and just the overall set up.

We had concluded this tbf.
I have no issue with the maintenance btw, my brother disnt pay and we didn’t speak for years as a result
