Petition Temporary Custody {PC-502}

PC-502 - PETITION/TEMPORARY CUSTODY. An adult relative may use this form to petition for the appointment of a temporary custodian of a minor child if a petition for:(a) removal of a guardian, (b) termination of parental rights, or (c) appointment of a guardian of a minor child who has no guardian has been filed with the court. This form may also be used by an attorney for a minor child or by an adult who is not a relative, but who has actual physical custody of the minor child at the time the petition is filed. The petition should be filed in the court for the probate district in which the minor child resides, is domiciled or is located at the time of filing the petition. If the petitioner is requesting temporary custody pending termination of parental rights, the petition may also be filed where the petitioner resides. A birth certificate (long-form) and JD-FM-164, Affidavit Concerning Children, should be filed with the petition. Also file Confidential Sheet, PC-502CI, with confidential social security numbers.
