shared parenting

Co-parenting is actually a relationship between two people (man and woman or same-sex) which was created for the purpose of bringing children into the world through an agreement. These are not spouses but two people who joined together for a clear and defined need - to be joint parents.

​

The relationship is anchored through an agreement that regulates the rights and obligations of each of the parties towards the children expected to reach the world and one towards the other.

​

A joint parenting agreement will include elements related to bringing the child into the world (surrogacy, insemination) as well as arrangements related to raising the child, place of residence, choosing the child's name (and last name), payments related to expenses related to the child, visitation arrangements between the parents, medical treatments, etc.

​

It is desirable that the agreement also include the pregnancy period, including tests that will be performed during the pregnancy, the distribution of the burden of the cost of the tests, the costs of the initial equipment for the baby, etc. It should be noted that it is extremely important that these and other important issues be anchored in an agreement drawn up by an expert attorney and which will include agreements that Avoid future conflicts. The agreement must be approved in court in order to give it binding effect.
