Simple English definitions for legal terms

caretaker

Read a random definition: court-martial

A quick definition of caretaker:

A caretaker is someone who takes care of a child or an elderly or disabled person. They are usually not the parent, but they have the responsibility of taking care of them. This person is also called a caregiver or custodian.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A caretaker is a person who takes care of someone else, usually a child or an elderly or disabled person. They have custodial responsibility and provide support and assistance to the person they are caring for.

Example: In family law, a caretaker can be someone who is not a parent but has been given the responsibility of taking care of a child. This can happen in cases where the child's parents are unable to care for them due to illness, addiction, or other reasons. The caretaker may be a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or family friend.

Example: A caretaker can also be someone who takes care of an elderly or disabled person. This can include providing assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and eating, as well as managing medications and medical appointments. The caretaker may be a family member, friend, or professional caregiver.

These examples illustrate how a caretaker is someone who takes on the responsibility of caring for another person who is unable to care for themselves. They provide support and assistance to ensure the person's well-being and safety.
