Abstract

Recognition of legal parentage, and the implications of recognition for the rights of the child, has presented particular challenges for Australian families and Australian courts. As the phenomenon of overseas commercial surrogacy continues to flourish, Australian legal frameworks are increasingly ill-equipped formally to recognise the reality of new family structures. This chapter puts these challenges in context, examines some particular case examples from the Australian Family Courts, and outlines some recommendations for reform.
