Can a surrogate mother keep the child?

In: Custody [Edit categories]

Answer:

It depends on the state and whether or not her DNA is involved. You MUST have a contract in place before she becomes pregnant. It is very unlikely that a surrogate mother would attempt to keep the child. I think that it happens less than 1% of the time, and in those cases the parents usually win custody in court.
