Wisconsin Waiver of Immediate Notice (Parental Consent/Abortion Waivers) is an option for individuals 17 years of age and younger seeking an abortion in Wisconsin to waive the requirement that their parents be notified before the procedure. There are two types of waivers available: the judicial waiver and the parental consent waiver. A judicial waiver is issued by a judge in the county where the individual resides. The judge may waive the parental notification requirement if the individual is mature and well-informed enough to make the decision on their own, or if telling their parents would not be in their best interest. The parental consent waiver is issued by a health care provider or physician. The individual must demonstrate that they are mature and well-informed enough to make the decision on their own. The physician must also believe that it is in the best interest of the individual to not notify their parents. Both types of waivers require the individual to sign an affidavit showing that they are aware of the risks and benefits of an abortion and have received counseling on the matter. The individual must also demonstrate that they understand the implications of their decision.
