FORM 8.989. ADVISORY NOTICE TO MINOR

ADVISORY NOTICE TO MINOR
[Case No.: ....................]

YOU ARE NOTIFIED as follows:

YOUR CASE NUMBER APPEARS AT THE TOP OF THIS FORM.
KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE. YOU CAN NOT GET INFORMATION
FROM THE CLERK WITHOUT YOUR CASE NUMBER.

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A COPY OF THE SWORN STATEMENT
YOU SIGNED WITH YOUR TRUE NAME. KEEP IT IN A SAFE
PLACE. YOU MAY NEED TO SHOW IT AND THE FINAL JUDGMENT
IN YOUR CASE TO YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE TERMINATING YOUR
PREGNANCY.

All information in your case is confidential. No papers will be sent
to your home, and you will be contacted by this court only through
the method you elected in the petition. Your name will not be on
your court papers.

If you would like an attorney to help you with your case, the court
will appoint one for you at no cost to you. Your attorney will receive
notices about your case so he or she can prepare for and attend
hearings with you. You may also name someone else you trust to
receive notices for you. You can also contact the clerk of court
yourself to check on your case.

You have a right to a hearing and a decision on your case within 48
hours of filing your petition unless you or your attorney waives this
right or asks for an extension of time. If this time limit is not met
you have the right to ask the clerk for a form that will allow your
doctor to perform a termination of pregnancy without notifying a
parent.

If the court dismisses your petition, you have the right to appeal.
You will be given information regarding how to proceed with an
appeal, and if you would like an attorney to help you with an
appeal, you may request that the court appoint one.
I certify that I have given a copy of this advisory form to the minor.
