Need someone to look after your child while you're away or unable to care for them temporarily? A temporary guardianship form gives a trusted person -- a relative, friend, or other adult -- legal authority to make decisions about your child's education, healthcare, and daily needs for a set period. It's not adoption; it's a safety net for situations like military deployment, medical treatment, or extended travel. Schools and hospitals often require this documentation.
