Document background
A Temporary Custody Agreement Without Court is utilized when parents or guardians need to establish temporary care arrangements for children in Singapore without seeking formal court orders. This document becomes relevant during situations such as extended overseas travel, temporary work assignments, medical treatment, or other circumstances requiring temporary transfer of caregiving responsibilities. The agreement details custody terms, visitation rights, decision-making authority, and specific responsibilities while adhering to Singapore's legal framework, particularly the Women's Charter and child welfare principles. While not court-sanctioned, this agreement provides a clear framework for temporary guardianship arrangements and helps prevent misunderstandings between parties.
