Cal Fam Code § 6550 A caregiver who is a relative and who completes items 1-8 of the affidavit provided in Section 6552 and signs the affidavit shall have the same rights to authorize medical care and dental care for the minor that are given to guardians under Section 2353 of the Probate Code.
A Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit is an official form based on California's recognition that adults who have minors living with them are “caregivers” who often want and need to take some responsibility for the minor's education and other care.
Since 1994, California has had a consent law that allows an "informal" relative caregiver to submit the same affidvait to enroll the child in school and consent to the child's medical treatment.
The Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) both can provide protections to caregivers, such as leave of absence and claims for interference with these rights, as well as claims for retaliation against exercising rights to FMLA and CFRA leaves.
