In certain situations, it may be necessary that custody of a child be temporarily awarded to a family member. Florida law allows for such a custody arrangement on a specific basis. A Petition for Temporary Custody by a Family Member must be filed with the Court, and the reasons for the necessity of the temporary custody must be specifically written into the Petition.
In many cases the parents of the child will consent to such an arrangement. However, if one or the other parent does not consent, then a family law judge will make a determination whether the temporary custody to a family member should be awarded.
Lisa York Law can represent either the parent, or the family member seeking the temporary custody. We will be with you every step of the way to determine what is in the best interest of the child.

Lisa was there for me every step of the way. She was really great about staying in touch with me to keep me updated on my case.

““Very appreciative of Lisa efforts because she researched whether or not she could help me before charging me a consult fee. This is a very unique thing in the legal world since most lawyers want money up front before talking with you. As it turns out, my issue was outside of her lane and she was able to point me in the right direction. Thank you.”
