Parents can sign a written agreement (technically called a “power of attorney”) giving you the authority to care for their child if they know they will not be able to take care of the child temporarily. For example, if the parents will be away for work, in jail, or getting medical treatment.
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.
Filing for Temporary Custody: To file for temporary custody in Florida, one needs to petition the court, providing necessary information about the child, the petitioner, and the reasons for seeking custody.
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.
Importantly, the emergency temporary guardianship only lasts for 90 days, so it is specifically designed to be temporary (hence the name) until a full guardianship hearing can be held. A court hearing must still take place to confirm that even an emergency temporary guardianship is necessary.
Your plan should have a temporary custody schedule that shows where your child lives and when your child spends time with the nonresidential parent. Your schedule should contain everything in a permanent custody schedule and show your child's daily living schedule, holidays, and vacation time.
The affidavit typically includes information such as the parent's relationship with the child, their ability to provide for the child's physical and emotional needs, the child's educational and medical history, and any other relevant information that may be helpful to the court in making a custody decision.
In drafting any temporary custody agreement it is important that the child's parent define the duration of the agreement and set forth details regarding where the child will reside and who has a right to visitation with the child.
The following are six critical sections that must be included: Title. This is either your name (“Affidavit of Jane Doe”) or the specific case information. Statement of identity. The next paragraph tells the court about yourself. Statement of truth. Statement of facts. Closing statement of truth. Sign and notarize.
The emergency petition for custody must include a signed affidavit that states the child is in imminent danger of harm and should include documents or evidence that support the claim. The more thorough and solid the evidence, the more likely the judge will be to grant the emergency motion.
