From an English legal perspective, undertaking fertility treatment can confer unwanted legal parental status and rights on individuals for a prospective child. This is particularly the case if you are in a complex personal situation, including:
- A woman undertaking fertility treatment and you are separated but still married or in an existing civil partnership.
- A husband of a wife from whom you are separated but not yet divorced and she is undergoing fertility treatment.
- A woman who is separated but still married or in an existing civil partnership with a woman undergoing fertility treatment.
