A temporary custody form is a legal form that creates a temporary custody arrangement between a child’s parents or legal guardians. Whoever is granted custody has the right to make decisions regarding the child’s care, education, and upbringing. Temporary custody forms are used when one parent or guardian is not available. Using this template, you can create a custody agreement between parents and legal guardians. After you and your family member or loved one are both approved at the courthouse, the court will sign off on your custody agreement and custody order.
