An Affidavit of Parental Consent to Temporary Parental Responsibility By Extended Family Pursuant To Chapter 751 Florida Statutes is a legal document that is signed by the biological parents of a minor child and an extended family member (such as a grandparent, aunt, or uncle) to allow the extended family member to assume temporary parental responsibility for the child. This document is most commonly used when the biological parents are unable to provide care for the child due to illness, death, or other circumstances. The affidavit is filed with the court and if approved, it gives the extended family member legal authority to make decisions and provide care for the child until the biological parents are able to resume their parental responsibilities. The two main types of Affidavit of Parental Consent to Temporary Parental Responsibility By Extended Family Pursuant To Chapter 751 Florida Statutes are: 1. Temporary Custody: This type of affidavit is used when the biological parents are unable to provide care for the child due to illness, death, or other circumstances and the extended family member wishes to assume legal responsibility for the child. 2. Permanent Custody: This type of affidavit is used when the biological parents are unable to provide care for the child due to illness, death, or other circumstances and the extended family member wishes to assume legal responsibility for the child on a more permanent basis.
