The Massachusetts Affidavit Disclosing Care and Custody (MA CDC) is a legal document that can be used to provide information about the care and custody of a child. This document is typically used by parents or guardians who are seeking to change a child's legal status, such as when a child is being adopted or when a change of guardianship is being requested. The MA CDC includes information about the child's current living arrangements, who has legal and physical custody of the child, any existing court orders or guardianship arrangements, any pending legal matters, and the reasons for the requested change in legal status. It also requires the parent or guardian to provide the court with a plan for the child's future care and custody. The MA CDC is required in most cases when a change of legal status is requested in Massachusetts. There are two types of MA CDC: the Parent/Guardian Affidavit and the Agency/Organization Affidavit. The Parent/Guardian Affidavit is used when a parent or guardian is requesting a change of legal status for a child, while the Agency/Organization Affidavit is used when an agency or organization is requesting a change of legal status for a child.
