Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The article explores the financial implications of recognizing multiple legal parents, advocating for a legal framework that adapts to evolving family structures, including those involving assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and non-traditional parenting arrangements. It argues that courts should recognize more than two legal parents and develop a flexible system to allocate financial responsibilities, such as child support and inheritance, in a way that prioritizes the best interests of the child while accounting for the roles and intentions of all parties involved.
