Laws
Statutes – Chapter 751: Temporary Custody of Minor Children by Extended Family
Definition – Concurrent Custody (§ 751.011(1))
Signing Requirements – Extended family members petitioning for the concurrent or temporary custody of a minor child must sign any of the approved family law forms required by the Florida Supreme Court (some forms will necessitate the acknowledgment of a notary public).
