You must accept legal parenting before your treatment takes place If it is important that you and your partner give both of them before treatment so that they are the rightful parent of your child. Learn more about legal parenting and why it is so important. The courts have recognized that lesbian unborn parents play an important role in their child`s life after the breakdown of their relationship. Your rights depend on your legal relationship with your partner and child. If you and your partner share public relations for your child, you can ask for both arrangements for the children to determine who the child lives with and how much contact the child should have with the other parent or whether there should be joint care.

The legitimate parent of a child is not automatically responsible for that child. And the person responsible for a child is not always the rightful parent. If you bear the responsibility of a child, you have the right and duty to raise and care for that child. If you have adopted a child together, you will both remain the legal parents of that child despite your separation, and one of you can apply to the court for a decision against him or her without first having to obtain permission from the court. None of them will lose public relations for the child. You will find more information on all these issues in our leaders: children and the law: parental responsibility and children, and the law: when parents separate. When you accosted a child, you are automatically their mother and legitimate parent.
If you are married or partner before fertility treatment with donated sperm or embryos, your partner will automatically be the legitimate parent unless he or she does not agree with the treatment. Ask yourself these questions before continuing treatment to ensure that your partner is the legal parent: if you do not give your consent correctly, your partner`s legal parent status could be challenged. Take the agreement to your local family court, where it can be signed and certified. There is a lack of clarity in the law on the parental status of a man who gives embryos created with his sperm for treatment by him and his partner, to a beneficiary who is alone and who becomes the sole parent. We therefore recommend that single women considering treating donated embryos should, prior to the start of treatment, seek legal advice on the status of the man whose sperm were used in the manufacture of the embryos used in their treatment. As the mother of your child, you are automatically the rightful parent of your child and you have public relations. The only way to lose public relations and legal parentage is for your child to be adopted (unless your child is adopted by you and your partner). The same applies to registered marriages and partnerships. As a marriage, a registered partnership is solemnly celebrated by a civil registry officer for births, deaths, marriages and registered partnerships (Burgerlijke Stand). It is therefore not the same as a cohabitation contract (samenleving) or simply being registered as living at the same address. Legal parenting offers a legal parent-child-life link, which covers a variety of areas such as your child`s nationality, inheritance and financial responsibility for your child.
It is also important that your child be clear about who his legal parents are.
