Answer to Florida Court Forms Question

Dear Carol,

The type of form that you are looking for is called a "Limited Non-Durable Power of Attorney for Minor Child(ren) Care".

It allows a designated individual to authorize any or all of the following:

  • to consent for emergency medical treatment;

  • to authorize all necessary medical treatment, including surgery and hospitalization;

  • to provide for the safety of the child;

  • to provide for the education, and welfare of the child;

  • to provide for enrollment in a school or sport activities;

  • to sign documents in connection with the care and medical treatment;

  • to perform any parental acts regarding discipline and supervision, arbitration of disputes,

  • to act as a guardian for custody of the child;
    other powers regarding your child (for example: travel arrangements, picking the child up from school, etc).


In a quick search online I was able to locate a free form. You can copy and paste this free form into your own text editor or word processor and edit to suit your particular needs.
