Emergency temporary custody?

It’s interesting that Mandy has seen your other questions since you just joined yesterday and have apparently only asked this one question.

Anyway, you could grant your mother temporary custody and authority to act in your behalf in taking care of the child’s welfare by creating a Limited Power of Attorney in your mother’s favor.

You don’t really need a lawyer to do it, you could look up the information on what one looks like on the internet. The main requirement is that YOU sign it in front of a Notary Public, who will Notarize it, which you can find at most any bank.

If, however, there is some legal issue regarding your child and a court or child protective agency is involved, then your mom, with your consent, could seek legal temporary custody of the child through the court.

The difference between a legal temporary custody of the child and the temporary custody and authority that you could grant threw a Power of Attorney, is that with a legal temporary custody you no longer have any responsibility for the child or its welfare whereas with the Power of Attorney method YOU would still be responsible for the child and the child’s welfare and would be required to revoke the Power of Attorney if you found that the child’s welfare was at stake.
