A guardianship is typically a temporary arrangement that establishes legal custody for the child's current caregiver. Unlike in adoption, parental rights are not terminated in guardianship; a parent can file a petition to terminate the guardianship and regain legal custody of their child at any time.
Typically, an emergency guardian is appointed by filing an emergency petition for guardianship. Such an order may be in effect for up to 72 hours. If the emergency continues, the emergency appointment of a guardian may be extended for up to 20 days from the expiration of the original emergency order.
