Michigan Out-of-Court Release of Child by Parent is a legal procedure under Michigan law that allows a parent to voluntarily release their parental rights to a child without the need for a court order. This process is often used when a parent is unable to provide adequate care for their child and wishes to make arrangements for the child to be cared for by another family member or guardian. The out-of-court release must be signed by both the parent and the guardian or other family member taking on the responsibility of the child. There are two types of Michigan Out-of-Court Release of Child by Parent: a temporary release, which is valid for up to one year, and a permanent release, which is a permanent relinquishment of parental rights.
