What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
My husband's son as recently moved in with us and my husband works quite a bit. From what I have read on this forum, I need my husband to make me a POA so that I can sign field trip slips, go to doctors visits, etc for my step-son? If so, is there a specific type of POA that I need to be assigned to be? Is this something that would need to be done by an attorney?
Also, there was never a formal custody order regarding my step-son. There was a paternity hearing and then a child support order for my husband to pay, but that was it, there are no papers stating who has custody or any setup for visitations. If he is now living with us, does that mean that my husband now has custody of him, or does the Mother still have custody?
