Self Service Centers
The Superior Court and some Limited Jurisdiction Courts have Self Service Centers designed to provide information and forms for persons representing themselves in court. Court staff at the Self Service Centers can provide legal information, but not legal advice. The handbook, glossary and signage below are designed to help define the difference between legal information and legal advice. These materials may also help you determine whether your question is best suited for Self Service Center staff or an attorney.

Self-Service Forms
Minor Abortion Without Parental Consent
Doctors cannot perform abortions for girls under the age of 18 without permission from their parent, guardian or a superior court judge
(A.R.S. § 36-2152 enacted in 2001, prohibits any physician from performing an abortion on an unemancipated minor without the written consent of one of the minor's parents or her guardian or conservator, or unless a judge of the superior court authorizes the physician to perform the abortion pursuant to prescribed procedures.)
If you are trying to obtain an abortion without parental consent, these self-service forms may be used to request permission from the superior court. Once you have filled these forms out, you must file them in person or via U.S. mail to the superior court in your county.
