Topics

 

• Who should qualify as a spouse? Should the definitions include registered domestic partners or cohabiting couples? What happens when a marriage terminates?

• Who should qualify as a child? We will explore presumptions of parenthood based on marital status, genetics or treating the child as your own.

• How does adoption or assisted reproduction alter the presumptions concerning parenthood?

• Should children born or conceived after a parent's death still be considered the child of that parent?

• How can we fix existing documents that did not contemplate these broader family relationships?
