Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are planning to travel abroad for an extended period may need this Power of Attorney to ensure that their children are cared for by a trusted individual. This document allows the appointed Attorney-in-Fact to make critical decisions regarding the child's health and education while the parent is away.
  • Situations requiring a parent to be hospitalized can create uncertainty regarding child care. By executing this Power of Attorney, the custodial parent can designate someone to take over parenting responsibilities temporarily, ensuring that the child's needs are met without legal complications.
  • For those who may be facing a temporary change in living arrangements, such as military deployment or job relocation, this form provides a legal framework for another person to step in and manage the child's welfare. This ensures that the child remains in a stable environment during the parent's absence.
  • Parents who are going through a divorce may find this Power of Attorney useful to designate temporary guardianship for their children. This can help alleviate stress and ensure that the children are cared for by someone the parent trusts during a tumultuous time.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for parents who share custody with another parent and have not obtained consent from that parent. Joint custody arrangements require mutual agreement on guardianship decisions.

  • – In cases where the child is in immediate danger or at risk of harm, this document should not be used as a substitute for emergency legal action or intervention by child protective services.
  • – This Power of Attorney should not be used for long-term custody arrangements. It is intended for temporary situations and does not replace formal custody agreements or legal guardianship.
  • – If the parent is facing legal issues that may affect their parental rights, such as criminal charges or ongoing investigations, it is advisable to seek legal counsel rather than using this document.
