Courts often consider the intent of the parties as expressed in the surrogacy or egg donation agreements.
The child’s best interests are paramount, particularly in disputes about custody or parentage.
Agreements must comply with state laws to be enforceable. Courts review the agreement’s legality, the consent of all parties, and any potential coercion or duress.
Courts with jurisdiction over these cases are typically those in the state where the child was born or where the agreement was executed.
Law enforcement may become involved if there is a failure to comply with a court order, such as returning the child to the intended parents.
Avoiding Disputes
Draft detailed agreements with the assistance of legal counsel to clarify the rights and responsibilities of all parties.
Seek court approval for surrogacy agreements to ensure legal enforceability and reduce the risk of disputes.
Ensure that all parties have independent legal representation to understand the implications and enforceability of agreements.
In Maryland, egg donors typically have no parental rights or obligations after the donation is complete and the contractual agreements are signed.
Virginia requires surrogacy agreements to be approved by the court before any procedures begin. The agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.
In Washington, D.C., surrogates do not retain parental rights if the surrogacy agreement and pre-birth parentage order are properly established.
Intended parents in Maryland can establish legal parentage through pre-birth orders or adoption, depending on the surrogacy arrangement and court approval.
A surrogacy agreement should include clear provisions for parental rights, responsibilities, and the intent of the parties. It should be drafted with legal counsel and receive court approval.
If a surrogate refuses to relinquish the child, the courts will evaluate the intent of the parties as outlined in the surrogacy agreement, the best interests of the child, and the enforceability of the agreement.
