No. However, if the adult child is unable to act on their own behalf for some reason the parent can petition to be appointed the adult's legal guardian. If that is the case you should consult with an attorney who specializes in special needs guardianships.

How do you transfer temporary guardianship of a 15-year-old to another adult in New Jersey?
The adult who is willing to accept the responsibility of the minor child must file a petition in the appropriate state court for guardianship. If however the issue is temporary custody (3 months or less) of a minor child the parent (not a legal guardian) can give written permission to the adult caregiver to take custody of the child. The document should include the date temporary custody is to begin and end; permission for the adult caregiver to enroll the child in school (if applicable) obtain medical and/or dental care for the child, the terms of monetary support, and other pertinent information. The parent is required to keep in regular contact with the caregiver and the child. Please be advised, such an arrangement does not insure that state social services will not become involved and parental accountabliity/responsibility would not be called into question if a problematic situation should arise.
