Surrogacy Arkansas
Arkansas enacted the country's most favorable surrogacy statutes long before many people had ever heard of Bill Clinton.
Not commonly considered to be progressive in any area of the law, especially reproductive issues, the Arkansas Legislature surprisingly enacted the first legislation that finally recognizes and supports the intent of the parties to a surrogacy contract.
The statutes, codified at Arkansas Code Annotated Section 9-10-201 et seq., are monumental deviations from the more familiar laws around the country that mandate that a child conceived through artificial insemination of a married woman shall be deemed to be the child of the woman and her husband.
The Arkansas law has two major advantages not found elsewhere. First, as noted above, the marital status of the surrogate is irrelevant, meaning that there is never a presumption that a married surrogate's husband is the legal father of a child born pursuant to the surrogacy contract.
There have been no custody battles in Arkansas as the result of a surrogate mother breaching a surrogacy contract. Indeed, the plain language of the statutes suggest that there could be no custody dispute.
