Perez Hilton’s mother has filed for temporary custody of the gossip blogger’s three children after he was hospitalized following a mental health crisis last week. The document obtained by Page Six showed that she will be able to consent to any medical care the children need, have access to their records, and make educational decisions, as well as “all other things necessary for the care of the children.” The document read:

“I realize that by signing this document, I am consenting to the Petitioner having temporary legal custody of the minor children and that such temporary custody is in the best interest of the children. I realize that the custody of my children by the Petitioner is temporary and that I may, at any time, petition the court to return legal custody to me. I understand and acknowledge that I may have to comply with a reasonable transition plan prior to the court returning legal custody to me.”
