Description

The Petition for Appointment of Temporary Guardian for Minor is a legal document designed for filing for temporary custody in Florida. This form allows a petitioner, typically a relative or caretaker, to request the court to appoint them as the temporary guardian of a minor. Key features of the form include sections for the petitioner's relationship to the minor, the current living arrangements, and the non-custodial parent's information, particularly if they are serving in the military. The form requires the petitioner to state their ability to care for the minor, including their health status and employment, as well as the minor's well-being. The document also requests that any bond requirement be waived, simplifying the process for the petitioner. Filling in the form involves providing accurate information about the minor, the circumstances necessitating guardianship, and the petitioner's qualifications. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants who are assisting clients in securing temporary custody arrangements due to extenuating circumstances such as military deployment or emergencies. It is important for legal professionals to guide users in understanding the implications of temporary guardianship and ensure all sections are completed correctly before submission.
