A legal custodian has full parental rights over the minor child and can make important decisions for the child in the same way as a temporary custodian. While a temporary guardianship is only intended for a short time, the court considers the custody decree to be final.
To address the immediate needs of the children involved, a motion for temporary custody is filed to establish a temporary arrangement until a final custody agreement is reached.
