Effect of dissolution of marriage.
THIS SECTION WAS ASSIGNED BY THE CODE COMMISSIONER IN THE 2008 REGULAR SESSION, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2009.
(a) If a marriage is dissolved before placement of eggs, sperm, or embryos, the former spouse is not a parent of the resulting child unless the former spouse consented in a signed record, maintained by the licensed assisting physician, that if assisted reproduction were to occur after a divorce, the former spouse would be a parent of the child.
(b) The consent of a former spouse to assisted reproduction may be withdrawn by that individual in a signed record, maintained by the licensed assisting physician, at any time before placement of eggs, sperm, or embryos. An individual who withdraws consent under this section is not a parent of the resulting child.
