More details to this question:
My husband and I recently became temporary legal custodian parents for a minor child within our family in AL. Another family member in VA wants the child to move there and begin school with her children, with our blessing. We cannot get DHR to respond in a timely manner. Would a signed and notarized Power of Atty allow him to go to VA to begin school? Thank you

No, but an executed and notarized Transfer of Parental Designation would work for up to one year.
