Description:

The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee proposes that the Judicial Council adopt six
forms for mandatory use and approve five forms for optional use in a new form series for parties
(intended parents) who conceive a child with a surrogate (a gestational carrier) under the terms
of a gestational carrier agreement (also called “an assisted reproduction agreement for gestational
carriers”) and then seek a judgment in family court determining a parental relationship under
Family Code sections 7960–7962. The committee also proposes that the council adopt a new rule
of court, amend several rules of court, repeal one rule, and revise three forms specific to
gestational surrogacy cases. The proposal originates from judicial officers and attorneys who
shared their ideas for uniform and streamlined rules and forms, specific to gestational surrogacy
