I have a 9month old baby that has been living with me since * weeks old. I have a notorized copy of medical and travel consent. Is there any additional documentation I need for the child to legally live with me?
Hello Emma, it would be helpful to know your location as the laws vary by jurisdiction. Also, could you clarify if you're the legal guardian or if this is a temporary arrangement?
This is a temporary arrangement and in the child’s parents live in Pennsylvania the child is living with me in West Virginia
Hello Emma,
In West Virginia, you might need:
- Temporary Guardianship Agreement, signed by both parents
- Court order (if applicable)
- Copies of the child's important documents (birth certificate, social security card)
Please seek legal advice to ensure all bases are covered.

Hello Emma, it seems you have most of the necessary documents. However, you might also need a Temporary Guardianship Agreement. Please consult with a local attorney to confirm.
