LaBre Law Guides Families Through Michigan’s New Assisted Reproduction Laws

EDWARDSBURG, Michigan—Nearly a year after the Assisted Reproduction and Surrogacy Parentage Act took effect in April 2024, Michigan families are dealing with a new legal reality in surrogacy and assisted reproduction arrangements. This groundbreaking legislation, which replaced the outdated Surrogate Parenting Act, has established more straightforward guidelines for parentage agreements and introduced necessary compliance measures.

While the new law has brought added protections and clarity, LaBre Law Office has observed that it also presents unique challenges. Detailed documentation requirements and specific legal procedures for parentage agreements have raised serious questions about compliance and enforceability.

“This legislation has been an improvement in Michigan family law,” said Rob LaBre of LaBre Law Office. “It has offered families more security by providing basic protections. However, complying with the new requirements can be daunting. Our office stands ready to guide parents, fully explain their rights, and help them fulfill the law’s demands.”

The law’s significant provisions include detailed rules for establishing parentage in surrogacy and assisted reproduction cases, including the need for explicit agreements defining the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved. While these changes have created a stronger legal framework, families must work diligently to comply with them and avoid complications with their arrangements.

LaBre Law Office helps families overcome these complexities. Through personalized legal counsel, the firm creates parentage agreements in compliance with Michigan’s requirements so families can confidently move forward with their plans. Whether advising on surrogacy arrangements or in other assisted reproduction cases, LaBre Law focuses on protecting parental rights and creating peace of mind for clients.
