A temporary guardianship involves a document in which a parent grants temporary custody of his or child to another person or institution. Temporary guardianship occurs when an adult takes legal responsibility for a minor child who is not his or her own. In order for guardianship to be considered temporary, the adult must be legally responsible for the child for less than six months in some states. Temporary guardianship may be established without going to court. A child's parent may sign an agreement naming another adult as his or her child's temporary guardian. For example, a parent who is going on active duty in the military, or who will be stationed for a short period of time overseas, may choose to sign an agreement naming a grandparent, relative, or family friend temporary guardian of his or her child. Because a temporary guardian isn't permanently responsible for the child in his or her care and was not ordered by a court to be a guardian, doctors may refuse to treat the child and schools may refuse to admit the child to classes without a parent's consent. For this reason, some states have enacted a law that allows schools and medical providers to accept a Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit from a temporary guardian. This allows the temporary guardian to take full responsibility for a child.

FAQ
Parents with sole custody are granted permission to travel out of country with their children without permission from the child's other parent. However, to do so, the parent with sole custody must show the court-ordered custody arrangement to obtain the child's passport.
In Puerto Rico, joint custody was established as public policy. Thus, courts must consider this type of arrangement as the first option in cases in which custody is in dispute. However, the most important factor for determining custody will always be the welfare of the underage or incapacitated child.
Do I need a notarized letter to travel with child to Puerto Rico? This is what the CBP says about minors traveling abroad. Unless the child is accompanied by both parents, the child must have a notarized letter from the other parent or signed by both parents showing their consent.
In addition, considering the fact that Puerto Rico is classified as a US territory, minors won't need to provide any identification documents when traveling. I should mention that this is only applicable when the minor is traveling with a companion (an adult).
Consent Forms: If you're traveling alone with your own child on a domestic flight, you don't need a parental consent form from your child's other parent to fly. But if you don't share a last name with your child, it's a good idea to have a copy of the child's birth certificate on hand to prove your relationship.
The Rule of Law in Puerto Rico states that a person comes of age at 21 years old. Until then, your daughter has a right to child support.
As for paternity, of the married woman's spouse is presumed to be the father of the children born during the marriage or within 300 days following the dissolution of the marriage. In addition, paternity is presumed when the child is voluntarily acknowledged.
