Family law shareholders Helen Casale and Rebecca Nayak will be discussing the Uniform Parentage Act for the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Family Law Section on Monday, September 8, 2025. The statute, currently being considered by the Pennsylvania legislature, would clarify the parent-child relationship, providing the necessary legal framework to establish parentage, including for families who require assisted reproductive health care, like surrogacy, to have children. Becca previously testified before the general assembly about the importance of the UPA, and Helen and Kyle Victor drafted an amicus brief for the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers in Glover v. Junior, a groundbreaking case that affirmed parentage in cases where assisted reproduction was used.
