Surrogacy disputes cover disagreements arising from a surrogate pregnancy, including parental order applications, competing parental claims, arrangements made before birth, and post-birth arrangements affecting who becomes a child’s legal parent. A solicitor in this area advises on the legal steps to establish parentage, drafts or reviews agreements, liaises with the surrogacy agency, hospital, and the intended parents, and represents clients in proceedings to obtain a parental order or resolve contested parentage in the Family Court, High Court, or Court of Protection as appropriate.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The most decisive steps involve securing a parental order to establish legal parentage or defending a challenging parental claim, where timing and consent matter greatly. A solicitor provides regulated oversight, ensuring proper application within the Family Court or High Court, safeguarding the rights of the child and intended parents, and navigating the court process with accuracy and compliance.
