Description
The Rhode Island General Assembly passed the Rhode Island Uniform Parentage Act (RIUPA) in July 2020. The bill updates the existing law to ensure all Rhode Island children have equal access to the security of legal parentage.
The RIUPA fills critical gaps in Rhode Island parentage law. The Act allows access to establishing parentage through a simple civil Voluntary Acknowledgement of Parentage, reducing the need for burdensome, expensive, and lengthy co-parent adoption process. It also creates for the first time in Rhode Island an accessible path to parentage for children born through assisted reproduction, as well as protections for children born through surrogacy.
