Catherine Henry Partners brings a special sensitivity and understanding to same sex relationship law. Same sex couples often have different needs and require assistance to ensure that their family law rights are recognised. Our services in this area include: binding financial agreements for couples entering de facto arrangements, donor insemination agreements, estate planning, property settlements and parenting applications.
We can organise a donor insemination agreement for heterosexual and lesbian couples or advise you of your legal rights and obligations if you are a sperm donor.
A donor insemination agreement sets out your intentions as donors and parents and the relationship that the child will have (if any) with the sperm donor. In the future an agreement will provide a guide for the courts to determine what is in your child’s best interests should a dispute arise between the parents and the donor.
