In Massachusetts, a Motion for Temporary Contact for De Facto Parentage (CJ-D 136) is used by individuals seeking temporary visitation rights with a child when they have established a de facto parent relationship. This motion is typically filed in the Probate and Family Court and is part of the process to establish legal recognition of a de facto parent-child relationship.
To file this motion, the applicant must demonstrate that they have a significant, parent-like relationship with the child, which has been encouraged or consented to by the child’s legal parent. The court will consider factors such as the emotional and financial support provided by the applicant and their involvement in the child’s life.
