  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) of this section or section 19-4.5-110 (2) or 19-4.5-112, on birth of a child conceived by assisted reproduction under a surrogacy agreement, each intended parent is, by operation of law, a parent of the child.    Except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) of this section or section 19-4.5-112, neither a gestational surrogate or genetic surrogate nor the surrogate's spouse or former spouse, if any, is a parent of the child.    If a child is alleged to be a genetic child of the individual who agreed to be a gestational surrogate, the court shall order genetic testing of the child. If the child is a genetic child of the individual who agreed to be a gestational surrogate, parentage must be determined based on article 4 of this title 19.    Except as otherwise provided in subsection (3) of this section or section 19-4.5-110 (2) or 19-4.5-112, if, due to a clinical or laboratory error, a child conceived by assisted reproduction under a surrogacy agreement is not genetically related to an intended parent or a donor who donated to the intended parent or parents, each intended parent, and not the gestational surrogate or genetic surrogate and the surrogate's spouse or former spouse, if any, is a parent of the child, subject to any other claim of parentage.

  Except as otherwise provided in section 19-4.5-110 (2) or 19-4.5-112, before, on, or after the birth of a child conceived by assisted reproduction pursuant to a surrogacy agreement, a party to the agreement may commence a proceeding in a juvenile court in this state by filing a petition for determination of parent-child relationship with admissions of parentage, as applicable by the intended parents, and admissions of nonparentage by the gestational surrogate or genetic surrogate and their spouse, if any, as applicable and for an order or judgment:   Declaring that each intended parent is a parent of the child and ordering that parental rights and duties vest immediately on the birth of the child exclusively in each intended parent;    Declaring that the gestational surrogate or genetic surrogate and the surrogate's spouse or former spouse, if any, are not the parents of the child;    Designating the content of the birth record in accordance with article 2 of title 25 and directing the Colorado department of public health and environment or state registrar to designate each intended parent as a parent of the child;    To protect the privacy of the child and the parties, declaring that the court record is not open to inspection;    If necessary, that the child be surrendered to the intended parent or parents; and    For other relief the court determines necessary and proper.       The court may issue an order or judgment under subsection (1) of this section before the birth of the child. The court shall stay enforcement of the order or judgment until the birth of the child.    Neither this state nor the Colorado department of public health and environment is a necessary party to a proceeding under subsection (1) of this section.    The petition described in subsection (1) of this section must set forth the facts of the surrogacy arrangement.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 19 - Children's Code|Article 4.5 - Colorado Surrogacy Agreement Act|§ 19-4.5-112. Effect of Surrogacy Agreement

  A surrogacy agreement that complies with sections 19-4.5-104, 19-4.5-105, and 19-4.5-106 is enforceable.    If a child was conceived by assisted reproduction under a surrogacy agreement that does not comply with sections 19-4.5-104, 19-4.5-105, and 19-4.5-106, the court shall determine the rights and duties of the parties to the agreement consistent with the intent of the parties at the time of execution of the agreement. Each party to the agreement and any individual who at the time of the execution of the agreement was a spouse of a party to the agreement has standing to maintain a proceeding to adjudicate an issue related to the enforcement of the agreement.    Except as expressly provided in a surrogacy agreement or in subsection (4) or (5) of this section, if the agreement is breached by the gestational surrogate or genetic surrogate or one or more intended parents, the nonbreaching party is entitled to the remedies available at law or in equity.    Specific performance is not a remedy available for breach by a gestational surrogate or genetic surrogate of a provision in the agreement that the surrogate be impregnated, terminate or not terminate a pregnancy, or submit to medical procedures.    Except as otherwise provided in subsection (4) of this section, if an intended parent is determined to be a parent of the child, specific performance is a remedy available for:   Breach of the agreement by a gestational surrogate or genetic surrogate which prevents the intended parent from exercising immediately on birth of the child the full rights of parentage; or    Breach by the intended parent which prevents the intended parent's acceptance, immediately on birth of the child conceived by assisted reproduction under the agreement, of the duties of parentage.

  The establishment of the parent and child relationship pursuant to a valid surrogacy agreement, court order of parentage, and this article 4.5 is the basis upon which an action for child support may be brought against the intended parent and acted upon by the court or the delegate child support enforcement unit without further evidentiary proceedings.    The breach of the surrogacy agreement by the intended parent does not relieve the intended parent of the support obligations imposed by the parent and child relationship pursuant to the provisions of this article 4.5.    The donor is not the legal parent of the child thereby conceived and has no rights or duties stemming from the conception of the child.     History.

  In any existing case commenced under this article, if it is alleged that another child has been conceived of the parents named in the existing case, that child shall be added to the existing case if at least one of the presumptions of paternity specified in section 19-4-105 applies for the purpose of establishing paternity and child support.

An amended petition filed pursuant to this article shall comply with the requirements set forth in section 19-6-101.    Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, in any case where there exists more than one alleged or presumed father for a child pursuant to section 19-4-105, a new case shall be commenced for that child to determine the child's paternity, establish child support, and address any other related issues.
