Surrogate Mother May Be Required to Pay Child Support in New Zealand!

Posted on January 27, 2009 by Theresa Erickson

According to the New Zealand Press Association, a surrogate mother residing in New Zealand may be required to pay support to the Australian government as shown below:

"A New Zealand surrogate mother could be forced to pay child support for the baby she had for two gay Australian men.

It is understood the year-old surrogate baby girl is being raised by her biological father and his male partner in Queensland, who are her legal guardians, the Sunday Star Times reported.

The Australian government had provided some child support benefits for the father to stay home and care for her, as new parents were entitled.

However, the surrogate was tracked down and asked to contribute, which she has refused to do.

Surrogacy is illegal in Queensland and many other parts of Australia."
