Surrogacy already brings its own layers of emotion, logistics and legal complexity — but when a relationship breaks down on top of that, the situation can feel especially daunting. In this episode, we explore why separation and divorce in the context of surrogacy are uniquely challenging, and the key issues intended parents need to understand to prevent avoidable complications. I’m joined by Natalie Sutherland, specialist family law solicitor and partner at the International Family Law Group in London. Natalie leads the firm’s modern family department and advises on surrogacy, assisted reproduction law, donor conception, platonic co-parenting and the full range of family law matters. We discuss: ✨ Who is recognised as the legal parent at birth in a surrogacy arrangement under English law, and how this changes once a parental order is granted ✨ Why securing legal parentage matters, particularly in the event of a future separation or divorce ✨ What happens if a couple separates before the parental order is made, and how this affects the child’s legal status and parental responsibility ✨ What happens when a parental order is never obtained and the parents later separate ✨ Preventive steps intended parents can take before and during the surrogacy journey to safeguard their rights and responsibilities ✨ How courts respond when a relationship ends during pregnancy or before the parental order is finalised, and what happens if one parent no longer wishes to proceed ✨ What it means if only one partner is the legal parent when the relationship breaks down ✨ Post-separation parenting, child arrangements and the particular sensitivities involved when a child is born through surrogacy ✨ Surrogacy for single parents after divorce, what to consider and the additional legal hurdles that may arise Whether you are considering surrogacy, already on the journey or navigating a separation in this context, this episode offers clarity, guidance and essential insights to help you move forward with confidence.
