Petition For Waiver Of Parental Consent For Minors Abortion {J-601}

AOC-J-601 - PETITION FOR WAIVER OF PARENTAL CONSENT FOR MINOR’S ABORTION. This form is used in the State of North Carolina by a minor who is pregnant and seeking a court order to waive the requirement of parental consent for an abortion. The petition may be filed when the minor is under 18, not married, not emancipated, and either does not want to, cannot, or is unable to obtain consent from a parent, guardian, or custodian. The form allows the minor to request legal representation and to indicate whether she wishes for any notice to be given to her parent or guardian. The form ensures strict confidentiality and outlines the appointment of an attorney if requested, notice of hearing procedures, and the legal requirement that the court hear the case promptly—typically within seven days of filing. No court fees are required for the minor, and the petition is not entered into the public court calendar. G.S. 7A-451(a)(16); 7B-200; 90-21.6 through -21.10. www.FormsWorkflow.com
