Alaska Parental Consent from Non-Petitioning Parent is a legal document that allows a minor to obtain an abortion without the consent of their parent or legal guardian. This document is also known as "consent from a non-petitioning parent" or "consent of an absent parent." The document is typically used when one of the minor's parents is uninvolved or absent from the minor's life, or when the minor is unable to contact their parent or guardian. There are two types of Alaska Parental Consent from Non-Petitioning Parent: Consent of a Non-Petitioning Parent and Consent of an Absent Parent. Consent of a Non-Petitioning Parent requires that the minor provide a statement that the non-petitioning parent is not available to provide consent, either because the parent is uninvolved or because the minor is unable to contact them. Consent of an Absent Parent requires that the minor provide a statement that the absent parent is not available to provide consent, either due to death, abandonment, or other circumstances. Both types of consent require that the minor demonstrate that they are mature enough to make an informed decision about the abortion.
