Can a parent take away overnight visitation based on the fact that there is no separate bedroom for the child to sleep?

The child female and is 14, the step-father is a truck driver and only home at the most two weekends a month but mostly only one weekend. Mother is stay at home mother and household is an efficiency that has a pull out sofa/bed. My recommendation to solve the dilemna was to section off an area w/ a small bed/cot to provide privacy but what are the laws that deal with this situation? Visitation is with mother.

For weekend, a sleeping bag on the floor should be no issue at all.

You are saying the one 14 yr old girl has to stay in a one room efficiency with her mother for some weekends? I agree with Fr_chuck a sleeping bag or small folding cot should work fine.

Is there any websites that provide state laws? The father wants to take the mother back to court to remove visitation rights because the mother does not have a separate bedroom for the child.
