An Arizona Petition for Temporary Appointment of a Guardian for a Minor is a legal document used to request the appointment of a guardian for a child under the age of 18. The petitioner must provide evidence that the minor is in need of a guardian to provide care and protection due to the minor's current or imminent danger, or due to the minor's special needs. The petition must include the minor's name, age, address, and parents' names. The petitioner must also state why a guardian is necessary and how the guardian will benefit the minor. The petition must also contain information about the proposed guardian, such as the guardian's address, phone number, and relationship to the minor. There are two types of Arizona Petition for Temporary Appointment of a Guardian for a Minor: 1) An Emergency Petition, and 2) a Non-Emergency Petition. An Emergency Petition is used when the minor is in imminent danger and requires immediate protection. A Non-Emergency Petition is used when the minor is not in imminent danger, but has special needs that require a guardian.
