Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
temporary guardianship
I am going to have my god daughter for a couple of months due to her mother having ''issues''. My question is I would like to find a form stating that I am not responsible if something happens to her daughter like injuries death and so forth...so she can't sue me if something does happen. Thank you in advance

Re: temporary guardianship
First, an individual cannot absolve you from liability for criminal acts. Many acts leading to injuries and/or death would normally be considered criminal acts.
Second, the mother has no authority to release you from a duty of due care (duty to act as a reasonable person would under the circumstances) for the child.
In summary, all people are held liable for their actions, and unfortunately there is no such document.
Best of luck!
