Family Court Act § 581-407 · Part 4. Surrogacy Agreement
Insufficient surrogacy agreement
Verbatim from the official edition
Text — Law content up to date as of August 21, 2026, as published by the New York State Senate (Open Legislation)
§ 581-407. Insufficient surrogacy agreement. If a surrogacy agreement does not meet the material requirements of this article, the agreement is not enforceable and the court shall determine parentage based on the intent of the parties, taking into account the best interests of the child. An intended parent's absence of genetic connection to the child is not a sufficient basis to deny that individual a judgment of legal parentage.
