Important Notice to All Young Women Age 18 and Under

Florida Law requires that all women age 18 and under who aren’t married and don’t already have children, to notify a parent or guardian in person or by phone, 48 hours before the abortion, if that’s not possible, by certified mail 72 hours in advance.

A young woman can also go to a judge to seek a waiver, and judges can grant a waiver based on the young woman’s level of maturity or because she has been a victim of parental abuse, or if telling the parents is not in her best interest.

We have all Parent/Guardian Notification Forms available for our patients, including:

• Minor’s Authorization to Notify her Parents
• Declaration of Minor Regarding Marriage Exemption
• Declaration of 2 Minor Regarding Dependent Child Exemption
• Waiver for Parent or Guardian
• Instructions for Petition for Judicial Waver

Staff members can assist all minors with guidelines and forms
