S10 Ep81: Can You Lose Custody for Living With a Roommate?

#ChooseGoldman   Having a roommate does not automatically mean you will lose custody of your children, as courts evaluate overall safety, living conditions, and what best serves the child's interests. However, judges look closely at the household environment, and attempting to hide a romantic partner as a roommate will destroy your credibility in court.   Justia Ask A Lawyer • Sharing a home with a roommate will not automatically cause you to lose child custody. • Courts focus on whether the living arrangement exposes children to safety risks, such as crime, alcohol abuse, or drug abuse. • Essential living conditions like proper heat, hot water, and a safe physical environment are thoroughly examined by judges. • Misleading the court by claiming a romantic partner is just a roommate will severely harm your case and credibility. • Being honest and proactive about a stable, supportive living situation is the best strategy to protect your custody rights.   Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
