Feedback
A Correct. After divorce, the ability to consent for medical care rests with the parent or parents who has been granted legal custody by the divorce decree.
B Incorrect. The divorce decree may grant legal custody to both parents, but the consent forms are still to be signed by the parent or parents who were granted legal custody by the divorce decree, whether they are the biological parents or not.
C Incorrect. The stepparent is not recognized to exist in the divorce decree, hence the individual has no legal standing to provide or offer consent.
D Incorrect. Without the consent of the parent or parents who were granted legal custody by the divorce decree, a court order might be required to allow a court-appointed attorney-at-law to provide consent.
