**N.Y. Fam. Ct. Act § 581-304. Consent to assisted reproduction.** § 581-304. Consent to assisted reproduction. (a) Where the intended parent who gives birth to a child by means of assisted reproduction is a spouse, the consent of both spouses to the assisted reproduction is presumed and neither spouse may challenge the parentage of the child, except as provided in section 581-305 of this part. (b) Where the intended parent who gives birth to a child by means of assisted reproduction is not a spouse, the consent to the assisted reproduction must be in a record in such a manner as to indicate the mutual agreement of the intended parents to conceive and parent a child together. (c) The absence of a record described in subdivision (b) of this section shall not preclude a finding that such consent existed if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that at the time of the assisted reproduction the intended parents agreed to conceive and parent the child together.
