In Massachusetts, a Complaint to Establish Parentage in cases of assisted reproduction is an equitable action used to determine the legal parentage of a child born through assisted reproductive technologies. This process is particularly relevant for families using gestational surrogacy, where a gestational carrier carries an embryo created from the egg and sperm of another couple. The Massachusetts Parentage Act provides a framework for establishing legal parentage, ensuring that all parents, including those involved in assisted reproduction, have the same rights and protections. Legal parentage can be established through various means, such as a pre-birth judgment of parentage, voluntary acknowledgment of parentage, or co parent adoption. The act recognizes diverse family structures and aims to simplify the process for parents while providing essential security for children born under various circumstances.
