How We
Help

As you manage through the challenges you are facing in growing your family, it’s important that you are taking the right legal steps and planning  to help you ensure the long term stability of the family you are creating. 

Our experiences working with families who are utilizing Assisted Reproductive Technologies or Surrogacy to add to their family will help you to realize your dreams.  

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) & Surrogacy

Gestational Carrier Agreements must comply with state laws in order to be valid.  If you are entering into such an agreement, it’s critical that your contract complies with Kentucky law.  

Experience in The Following Areas

  • Gestational Carrier Agreements
  • Cryopreserved Embryos
  • Working with Fertility Clinics
  • Establishing Legal Parentage

Gestational Carrier Agreements

The pace of reproductive technology is outpacing the changes in laws. Getting qualified legal counsel is critical to protecting your family.

Cryopreserved Embryos

The preservation of embryos can raise future issues. It is important to consider all future issues when considering the preserving of embryos.

Working With Fertility Clinics

Intended parents not only need to work with their attorney, but also need to work with their fertility clinic. It is important to have an attorney familiar with fertility clinic contracts and assist you with options to negotiate a change to the fertility clinic's standard contract language.

Establishing Legal Parentage

A Court's judgment will be necessary to declare the intended parents the legal parents of the child. Jackson Family Law will work through the complexities with obtaining a judgement. It is not always possible to obtain a prebirth order of parentage.

The best assisted Reproductive or Gestational Surrogacy Agreements, secure and protect your rights from the beginning.

helping you Understand

Assisted Reproductive Technologies

understanding the laws

Traditional ideas of a family have changed and continued to evolve.  Science is often further advanced than our laws.  When this occurs, it is the attorney that looks to the language of the laws to apply the meaning of those laws to a family’s situation.

Have a knowledgeable Attorney

It is important that your attorney is knowledgeable and licensed in the state you are seeking assistance, whether this is with your gestational surrogacy agreement, discussions with your fertility clinic, parentage judgement, to name a few.  

an evolving area of law

ART continues to be an evolving area of law.  Legislation has not been enacted in many states.  Kentucky is one of those states.  The future issues are vast when considering pursuing preserving of embryos, entering into a gestational surrogacy agreement, embarking with In Vitro Fertilization and other areas of assisted reproduction.
