It should be permissible to omit the particle 的 when referring to family.

Correct. The Duo web notes teach users this. Report it.
EDIT: One may now omit 的. “我爸爸六点半起床。” is now accepted.

Can 在 be used to for time?
i.e "我的爸爸在六點半起床。"
or is the sentence " 我的爸爸六點半起床。" only acceptable?

I don't think 在 can be usee for time, but I'm not s native speaker. Anyone else?

I don't think so. 起 means rise. 床 is bed. 起床 means to get up from bed (literally "rise from bed".) 来 means come. 起来 means "come up", often used in abstract phrases like 想起来 ("thoughts come up"=remember) and 看起来 ("looking brings up"=looks like/seems like)

Surely it should also accept 六点半我的爸爸起床?
