Maine Consent of Other Than Parent is a form of legal consent that allows a guardian to provide permission for a child’s medical treatment or other activity when a parent or legal guardian is not available. This form is used in the state of Maine when a non-parent is responsible for the care or custody of a minor child and wishes to make decisions on behalf of the child. There are two types of Maine Consent of Other Than Parent forms. The first is general, and it allows for any type of activity or medical treatment for a minor child. The second is specific and is used for a single medical treatment or activity. Both forms must be signed by a parent or legal guardian when available, and by the non-parent guardian when the parent or legal guardian is not available. This form is often used in cases involving grandparents, extended family members, or other individuals who are responsible for the care or custody of a minor child. It is important to note that Maine Consent of Other Than Parent forms are not legally binding and do not grant legal guardianship of the minor child.
