That's ridiculous and not a reason to keep the kids from their other parent.

And what if the kid is unhappy with those living conditions? Would it still be ridiculous?

Kids can be unhappy with a lot of aspects of their lives. My teenage son lives in a small bedroom in a twin bed and not much space for friends to visit. He wishes he had a bigger room. Should a court take away custody for this setup?

That is not the same as him sleeping on a pullout couch and having no privacy or personal space 50% of the time

Then be reasonable with money so dad can afford a bigger place.
