no there is no law saying you have to have seperate rooms for each sex of a child - you don't even have to have a room - some parents end up having to live in an efficiency and kids sleep in the living room. and no, him staying at the friend's house is not going to affect custody. He didn't abandon the children, it was a mutual choice to two of you made - if he wants to go for full or joint custody he still has a chance to get it.
If his friend is female, and you do not want the kids around another woman, you put a morality clause in the temporary agreement and then yes, he will have to get his own place - if he is with a male friend - no, he doesn't have to - a lot of people need roommates to survive the economy.
