This is in regards to temporary custody only (meaning three months or less). In such a situation all that is needed is written authorization (preferably notarized) from the parent(s) giving the chosen adult permission to obtain medical care and if applicable school enrollment. During their absence the parent(s) should (1) Visit at least once a week if at all possible. (2) Speak on the phone 1-2 times per week. (3) Write letter(s) weekly. (4)Provide financial support. It's very important the authorization includes the date the temporary custody begins and ends. Any situation that would be longer than three months should be discussed with legal counsel.

I just found out that I am the biological father of a child in state's custody how do I get custody?
If you're a single father, you have no assumed rights to the child until paternity has been established by a court of jurisdiction. As such that will need to be your first step. Then, if the child is in the custody of the state you can petition for custody to be transferred to you. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in family law who can review your situation and explain your options.
