US Supreme Court declines to intervene in custody dispute between California couple and surrogate
Americas8 sources5 countries47m ago
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to intervene in a custody dispute involving a 5-week-old child. Justice Elena Kagan denied a request from a surrogate who refused a California couple's wishes to have an abortion.
The child was born in Texas following the disagreement between the surrogate and the intended parents regarding the pregnancy. The legal battle centers on the custody of the newborn infant.
Justice Kagan's decision leaves the current legal status of the dispute in place without Supreme Court interference.
