I represent both surrogate mothers and intended parents, in formulating the terms of the contract for surrogacy. I provide these services in cases involving donation of the semen and/or ova, and also provide representation to the donors. I have worked with Growing Generations, one of the largest surrogacy agencies in the world, in inter-state surrogacy cases.
Each party to a surrogacy requires his or her own separate legal representation, in order to ensure that all parties are properly advised and protected. Surrogacy contracts are lengthy and detailed, due to the many complex considerations that must be addressed. It is critical that the contract be properly and clearly written, and that each party be completely informed as to the terms of the agreement.
My practice includes the full range of family law services, including prenuptial and antenuptial agreements, all aspects of divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities (formerly known as custody), step-parent adoptions, grandparent rights, and estate planning. I also provide family law and estate planning services to gays and lesbians, including parental rights (for couples residing anywhere in Colorado), allocation of parental rights, sperm donor agreements, surrogacy agreements, gay and lesbian "divorce," domestic partnership agreements, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.
