Us family lawyers are being asked more and more to advice on fertility law, surrogacy or donor conception arrangements.
Of course this area of law doesn't end there and there can be complex situations where, for example, a single woman and her best friend, male or female, want to co-parent.
It is a legally dangerous area of law for those involved and can often have legal implications which greatly surprise people as one Andy Bathie will tell you. He donated sperm to a lesbian couple so they could have a child and the CSA later made him pay significant sums in child maintenance.
We have prepared a detailed article on the main issues to be considered in Fertility Law, Surrogacy and Same Sex Parenting by anyone involved whether they be surrogate mothers, sperm donors or same sex couples planning to have children.
