Child Visitation Laws

What's the law regarding visitation in Fairfax County, VA? I have sole legal custody of my 5 year old daughter, she goes to her father's house every other weekend, but does not have her own bed or room. She sleeps on the couch. Would that be a concern of the court?

Thank you for your time.

Re: Child Visitation Laws

It could be, but you would not know for sure until this particular issue is before a court on a review of your custody or visitation matters. (I can assure you, however, that there is no general statutory authority which specifically mandates that a bed be available for a child to sleep on rather than a couch during the child's overnight visitation at the home of the noncustodial parent.)
