Custodia

What is a power of attorney?

A power of attorney (“POA”) is a document that allows a third party to make important decisions on someone else’s behalf. The third party might be called the “attorney-in-fact” or the “agent.” If someone else is taking care of your child temporarily, you might choose to grant that person a POA so that s/he can make decisions for your child while your child is living with him/her.

However, a POA is not a court order. It does not actually give the agent any legal form of custody – only a judge can do that.
