A Michigan parent may temporarily delegate parental powers over a child, for example to a grandparent or relative while the parent is deployed, traveling, or ill, for up to 6 months (MCL 700.5103).
When a child travels with only one parent, grandparents, a school group, or another adult, airlines and border officials may ask for written, notarized consent from the parents who are not traveling.
A written, signed personal care agreement documents that a family member or friend is paid for providing care. It is often needed for Michigan Medicaid long-term care planning, so payments are not treated as gifts.
