Where? Is this public housing?
Illegal? Probably not. In appropriate? The child should have her own bed for several reasons, one of them being getting a good night's sleep.

Is this every night, or is it just every other weekend when she goes for a visit.

As mentioned, public housing rules do exist and vary on this subject.
It could be possible ammunition in a custody battle, but there are no laws that I know of specifically pertaining to it.
I know people who shared bedrooms (not beds) with parents well into puberty with no ill effects, and there are some famous people who have said they did too. It was a more innocent time however, and if people couldn't afford more bedrooms, that was what they did. Now people sleep on the couch more.

What are the law regarding thisHello miss:
The law doesn't address the minutia of daily life. It's not against the law, but it isn't a good idea.
