Frozen eggs and embryos lead to legal disputes that appear in matrimonial and family law cases, as more and more women freeze their inseminated or uninseminated eggs for future use. Individuals considering IVF in New York should be aware of potential parentage issues. If a couple freezes an egg and sperm for future fertilization but divorces before proceeding, both parties may have a say in the disposition of the frozen samples due to their DNA contribution. Consents given during happier days are sometimes a matter of contention during a divorce or other dispute. Our IVF attorneys are available to assist in asserting rights to parentage. We can help.
