Temporary Guardianship

Temporary guardianship is a legal arrangement where a person is appointed to care for a child or dependent individual for a limited time. This often occurs when the child's parents are unable to fulfill their caregiving responsibilities due to emergencies, illness, or other circumstances. The temporary guardian has the authority to make decisions regarding the child’s daily needs, education, and healthcare. This arrangement is typically formalized through a court order, ensuring that the guardian's rights and responsibilities are outlined and respected during the specified period.
