# California AB 2349 (20152016) — Assisted reproduction agreements for gestational carriers.
|
||
|
||
The Uniform Parentage Act defines the parent and child relationship as the legal relationship existing between a child and the child's parents, governs proceedings to establish that relationship, and establishes the jurisdiction of the courts under the act. Existing law provides that a party to an assisted reproduction agreement may bring an action under the act at any time to establish a parent and child relationship consistent with the intent expressed in that assisted reproduction agreement. Existing law allows an action to establish the parent-child relationship between the intended parent or parents and the child as to a child conceived pursuant to an assisted reproduction agreement for gestational carriers to be filed before the child's birth and specifies the counties where that action may be filed.
