The Wisconsin Petition to Waive Parental Consent for Abortion is a legal document used by minors in the state of Wisconsin who are seeking an abortion without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. This petition allows minors to seek a court order that waives the parental consent requirement under Wisconsin law. There are two types of Wisconsin Petition to Waive Parental Consent for Abortion: an ex parte petition and a hearing petition. An ex parte petition is filed when the minor is in an emergency situation and has no time to wait for a hearing. The court will consider the petition and decide whether to grant the waiver without a hearing. A hearing petition is filed when the minor does not have an emergency situation and has time to wait for a hearing. The court will hold a hearing where both parties can present their arguments before a judge makes a decision.
