Delegation of Parental Authority (DOPA)
Delegation of Parental Authority (DOPA)
English
What is a Delegation of Parental Authority (DOPA)?
A Delegation of Parental Authority (DOPA) is a document that lets someone take care of your children when you can’t. The person you give this permission to is called an “Attorney-in-Fact.”
A DOPA gives permission for someone else to make decisions about your child’s care, custody, and property. It is the same as if you made the decision yourself. This means that someone with a DOPA can take your child to the doctor for medical treatment. They can also excuse the child from school for things like illnesses, medical appointments, or other issues. A DOPA does not give permission to decide things like adoption or marriage.
A DOPA does not take away any of your rights to make decisions for your children. You can still override any decisions made by the Attorney-in-Fact.
You need to do a separate DOPA for each child.
Spanish
¿Qué es la Delegación de la Autoridad de los Padre (DOPA)?
Una Delegación de la Autoridad de los Padres (DOPA) es un documento que le permite a alguien cuidar de sus hijos cuando usted no puede hacerlo. La persona a la que usted da este permiso se llama "Apoderado."
Una DOPA autoriza a otra persona a tomar decisiones sobre el cuidado, la custodia y los bienes de su hijo. Es igual que si usted mismo tomara la decisión. Esto significa que una persona con una DOPA puede llevar a su hijo al médico para que reciba tratamiento médico. También puede permitir que el niño se ausente de la escuela por motivos de enfermedad, citas médicas u otros asuntos. Una DOPA no da permiso para decidir cosas como la adopción o el matrimonio.
La DOPA no le quita a usted ningún derecho a tomar decisiones por sus hijos. Usted puede seguir anulando cualquier decisión tomada por el Apoderado.
Es necesario hacer una DOPA por separado para cada hijo.
