In certain circumstances, the establishment of parental rights requires legal orders and pleadings through the court. Our firm has ample experience in representing clients to help them navigate the legal system with a peace of mind that their parental rights and claims will be established and protected legally. There are certain elements due to the nature of assisted reproductive methods that will require the intended parents to obtain legal declaration of their claim as a legal parent of the child born through third party reproduction or an assisted reproductive method.
In some cases, various states will also ask the court to establish a pre-birth order to finalize the legal rights of the intended parents.
