Petition For Examination {ME-903}

ME-903 - PETITION FOR EXAMINATION. This form is used in the Wisconsin Circuit Court system to initiate legal proceedings under Chapter 51 of the Wisconsin Statutes for involuntary mental health commitment. It allows concerned individuals—typically County Corporation Counsel or other authorized petitioners—to formally request that the court examine the condition of a person who is alleged to be mentally ill, drug dependent, or developmentally disabled and in need of treatment. The petition must include specific facts and evidence indicating that the subject poses a danger to themselves or others, based on recent acts, threats, statements, or behaviors. Petitioners with direct personal knowledge of the subject’s conduct are identified, and those without direct knowledge must explain the basis of their belief. The form also allows for the inclusion of other individuals who may testify in support of the petition. It gathers information about the subject’s close family and household contacts for notification purposes. Each petitioner must certify, under penalty of false swearing, that the information provided is true and accurate. §51.20, Wisconsin Statutes. www.FormsWorkflow.com
