Legal authority for surrogate mothers | Important information


Questioner

Hello, In September, I'll become a co-mother to my wife and I. I'd like to know what legal arrangements are needed to ensure I also have legal custody, and what the costs will be.

Questioner

Dear questioner, it depends on how you have legally structured your relationship with your wife, see the link for more information http://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/aangifte-geboorte-erkenning-en-gezag/vraag-en-antwoord/hoe-krijg-ik-als-duomoeder-gezamenlijk-gezag.html

Questioner

We've been married for almost two years now. I forgot to mention that.

Questioner

Dear, If there is no known father who also recognizes the child, you will automatically receive joint custody.

Questioner

We are a lesbian couple and became pregnant through a clinic using a donor we don't know. I would also like to have legal custody.

Questioner

Dear, That happens automatically because you are married and the father is an unknown donor, so as I see it, you do not need to arrange anything; you will also have legal authority, kind regards,
