New York Affidavit And Consent of Person Having Lawful Custody (Other Than Birth Or Legal Parent) (Private Placement) is a form required by New York State law to be completed by a person who has lawful custody of a child other than the birth or legal parent. This form is typically used in situations where a child is placed with a non-parent, such as a stepparent, grandparent, or other relative, for private placement. The form must be signed by the person having legal custody, the child's legal parent, and the person receiving custody of the child, and must be notarized. It must then be filed with the local or county court. There are two versions of this form: one for New York City and one for the rest of the state.
