What the other parent needs on paper
The other parent needs the existing custody or visitation paper, a named pickup adult, and the campus visiting sheet if a child may visit. A residential stay does not rewrite a court order. This page is a checklist. It is not legal advice.

Questions people ask
Does a stay change custody?
Not by itself. The existing order controls until a court changes it. This site does not file papers.
Can the other parent call the program?
Only if the adult signed a release that covers that person. A website cannot grant access.
Is this legal advice?
No. This site is not a law office and not a clinic. Treatment information: SAMHSA 1-800-662-HELP.
