Filing a Petition The first step is to file a petition for temporary guardianship with the court, typically in the county where the minor or incapacitated adult lives. The petition should include the reason for the guardianship and the proposed guardians qualifications.
Once the case is filed, it usually takes from 14 days to two months for a decision to be docHubed by the court. The fact that a temporary guardian may have been appointed does not determine whether a permanent guardian will be appointed.
Although it is not required, petitioners are generally represented by attorneys, particularly in contested guardianship cases. In some cases, the petitioner may pay fees for the services of the guardian ad litem or the physician who prepares the medical report.
You can ask the judge to appoint a GAL to your case, and in some cases the judge may decide on their own to appoint a GAL. Who will be appointed as the GAL in my case? The Court maintains a list of attorneys who are trained and qualified to serve as GALs. The list is available to the public and can be found here.
Drafting the Guardianship Letter Insert preliminary information. Include the subject heading of the letter. Draft the body of the letter. Describe the powers. State the duration of the temporary guardianship. Include contact information. Include information about your children and the guardian. Add a signature block.

Temporary guardianship allows parents to legally appoint someone to care for their children for a set period. This requires a formal court process where a judge reviews the arrangement to ensure the childs best interests. Proper documentation, such as a guardianship agreement or court order, is essential.
A short-term guardian is responsible for the child for one year or less. The parent or guardian picks the short-term guardian. The parent or guardian does not need to go to court, but the agreement must be in writing. The agreement must be signed and witnessed by at least 2 people who are at least 18 years old.
