Does my boyfriend need some kind of legal form to care for my kids when i am at work?
we live together and sometimes he needs to pick up my kids from day care and care for them when i am at work. does he need more than a medical consent form in case anyone ever questions him. and would he need anything after we are married?
Answers:
After you get married, he would be your husband, but NOT the parent of your children, unless he also adopted them. This is something you and he ought to discuss.
If anything happens to you, an accident, sickness, death, your boyfriend has NO RIGHTS with respect to the care for your children. You might give some thought to getting something on paper for him to have, that expresses your desire in this matter.
You ought to provide something in writing to each place where your children customarily go, such as day care, identifying boyfriend, other relatives, whom you authorize in advance to pick them up.
Depending on their ages, they need to know their name & address, your name, his name, phone # where you work. If they get separated from you and him, they need to be able to tell a police officer how to get in touch with you.
WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA,, MAKE ONE UP AND HAVE IT NOTERIZED, BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY,, ALSO A LIST OF MEDS ALLERGIES ECT
The daycare usually has forms for who they are allowed to release the children to. My husband and I have been married for five years, and he has never needed any special permission for day to day activities. Of course, my daugter's father passed on 7 years ago, so no one is making trouble either...
Good luck..
no he doesn't need anything, espically if you are married to him.
You could give your kids' school or daycare a signed piece of paper from you saying he can pick them up, just for their records in case something happens.
Most schools, since they are responsible for the children until someone picks them up, ask parents for a list of the people allowed to do so, so I would imagine that would apply to anyone that isn't known to the daycare staff as the kid's parent. And once you guys are married, you might have to do the same thing, unless he adopts your kids and gives them his name or something.
As long as the officials at school know he is allowed to pick them up It should be ok. But if it were my kids he would have to have a picture id and a legal paper stating that he is allowed to pick them up...
The day care would just need to know that he is an ok person for him to pick up your children and yes i would get a paper saying if anything were to happen when i am away he has the right to get medical treatment for my children and get that notorized. He would not need anything like that bc he adopted them when he married you. If you would like the adoption official you could get that done but i am not sure how that would work if the bio dad is still has something do with the children. I think he would have say so if you were to get married and both bio parents were unable to get a hold of.
why should any one question him? if the day care centre has the ok from you, face to face, this is a weird question. take more care
just the medical release should be enough and after you are married all he should need is proof of id
