Laws
Alaska School Laws
Alaska law does not address school issues relating to sexual orientation or gender identity.
Alaska Surrogacy Law
The Alaska statutes are silent with regard to surrogacy agreements, and the only reported state court case that touched on the issue was decided on unrelated grounds. The issue of surrogacy agreements involving lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) individuals has not yet been considered by the courts.
Arizona Adoption Law
Arizona Custody and Visitation Law
There have been no cases dealing with lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender parents. Arizona law, however, does not seem to permit the consideration of factors that do not affect the best interests of the child to be used in custody and visitation determinations. Although there are no published cases dealing with same-sex co-parents, state law allows for a person not legally or biologically related to petition for visitation.
Arizona Donor Insemination Law
There is no provision in Arizona law on donor insemination.
Arizona School Laws
Arizona Surrogacy Law
Arizona law prohibits both traditional surrogacy agreements (in which the surrogate mother is the biological contributor of the egg) and gestational surrogacy agreements (in which the surrogate mother is not the biological contributor of the egg), but part of that statute has been ruled unconstitutional by an appellate court. The issue of surrogacy agreements involving lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) individuals has not yet been considered by the courts.
