What Is Family Formation Law?

Mona Hosseiny-Tovar | April 2, 2024

Family formation law is the area of family law that’s focused on building families. Unlike many other areas of family law, which can involve contentious situations, family formation law is centered on happy occasions when people are adding new members to their family, such as adoptions and surrogacy agreements.

When Will You Need a Family Formation Attorney?

You’ll need a family formation attorney for any kind of adoption as well as in situations involving surrogacy or the donation of genetic material or embryos. This includes:

Private and agency adoptions
Foster parent adoptions
LGBTQ adoptions, including second-parent adoptions
Gestational surrogacy
Embryo, egg, or sperm donation

In all of these situations, an experienced family law attorney with Goranson Bain Ausley can make sure that your family is formed with a secure legal foundation and your rights are protected. If you’re planning to grow your family through adoption or surrogacy in Texas, contact us today to schedule a consultation.
