The Idaho Petition for Appointment of Guardian of a Minor is a legal document used to request that a guardian be appointed for a minor child. This petition is typically filed in the county of the minor child's residence and must be approved by the court. The petition can be filed by a parent, a relative, or any other individual who has an interest in the welfare of the child. There are two types of Idaho Petition for Appointment of Guardian of a Minor: 1) Temporary Guardianship and 2) Permanent Guardianship. A Temporary Guardianship is a temporary arrangement that is usually requested in the event of an emergency or for a short period of time. A Permanent Guardianship is a long-term arrangement where the guardian is responsible for the care and welfare of the minor until they reach the age of majority. The petition must include certain information such as the name of the minor, the petitioner's name and address, the proposed guardian's name and address, and a description of the reasons why a guardianship is being requested. The petitioner must also provide the court with evidence of why the proposed guardian is qualified to act as guardian. After the petition is filed, the court will hear the case and make a decision whether the guardianship should be granted.
