Temporary guardianship without court is a legal arrangement in which a child is placed under the temporary care and custody of an adult who is not the child's parent or legal guardian, without the involvement or approval of the court.

Legal Process: An application for temporary guardianship includes filing forms with the court. These include the Petition for Appointment of Temporary Guardian of the Person and Letters of Guardianship. These, along with other forms the court requires must be filled out and filed.

Temporary guardianship only lasts for a certain period of time ? usually not longer than 6 months. If the child still needs a guardian after the temporary order expires, you can start the temporary guardianship process again or file for permanent guardianship through the court.

From the time the petition for guardianship is filed, it may take up to two months for the guardianship to be granted. The amount of time depends on the proper notice to relatives and a completed investigation as to the appropriateness of the guardianship.

Temporary guardianship in California means that an adult ? someone over the age of 18 ? is responsible for a child for a set period of time. The guardian can make decisions related to finances, education, medical care and other important issues, and he or she is responsible for the child's care, as well.
