Josef Alkatout, Esq., Head of family law, comments in the Tribune de Genève, a decision rendered by the Swiss Supreme Court on visitation rights of an “intended parent” regarding children that are born in same-sex families.
In short:
– Children of separated parents are entitled to be informed about the circumstances of the first steps of their existence.
– Visitation rights of the “intended parent” with no genetic link to a child are mostly in favor of the latter.
– The case at hand of an ex-couple of lesbian parents is sent back to the cantonal court for the second time already for the decision to be corrected.
