After details of the procedure are explained, the legal informed consent for treatment on behalf of a minor child will be obtained from: 1. The divorced parent without custody.
2. The babysitter with written proxy consent.
3. A grandparent who lives in the home with the child.
4. The cohabitating unmarried boyfriend of the child's mother.

Rationale 1: State laws vary. In the case of divorced parents, the parent with custody may be the only parent allowed to give informed consent.
Rationale 2: A parent may grant proxy consent in writing to another adult so that children are not denied necessary health care.
Rationale 3: Residence in the same household with a child does not authorize an adult to sign consent for treatment.
Rationale 4: Residence in the same household with a child does not authorize an adult to sign consent for treatment.
