Marion and Jimmy lived together for three years and planned to continue to do so without ever marrying. They are both professional models who wanted to have children but Marion did not want to go through a pregnancy while she was at the peak of her career. The idea of harvesting her eggs did not appeal to her so they found an egg donor at a local gamete bank. Although they did not know it, her

name is Jane. They used Jimmy's sperm. They decided on and executed a contract with a gestational surrogate and her husband, Joanne and Hal. After going through the pregnancy and delivery, Joanne and Hal decided they wanted to keep the baby. Jane also decided that she didn't like the idea of having a child out there in the world somewhere that she was failing to parent. Marion and Jimmy have broken up due to the stress of the surrogacy experience. Identify and briefly describe the four tests most commonly used by the courts to resolve disputes arising out of surrogacy arrangements and indicate who the legal parents would be under each test.

Charlie and Sandy were married for eighteen years. From this marriage they had one issue, a girl named Beatrice. Beatrice is now 15 years old. Her parents have decided to end their marriage. In the divorce decree, Charlie was ordered to pay $1,500 per month child support. Beatrice did not take her parents' divorce very well and started to act-out, seeing an older boy, Preston, staying out late,

just doing all of the behavior that kept her mother up at night. The obvious happened. Beatrice told her mother that she was pregnant. She told her parents that her baby's father was madly in love with her and wanted to marry her. The one thing that Charlie and Sandy agreed upon in the last few years was to let Beatrice marry Preston. They gave their consent, and Beatrice got married. Charlie had another thing to cheer about. He no longer had to pay child support. His baby girl was now emancipated. But before the cork on the champagne bottle popped, Beatrice was no longer pregnant, and Preston brought Beatrice and her suitcase back home. The marriage was annulled. Several months later, Sandy contacted Charlie to ask him where were his child support checks? Sandy needed money for personal, health and beauty items since she returned home. Charlie gleefully said that he did not have to pay child support anymore because Beatrice was emancipated. Is Charlie correct? In your response, define emancipation. Determine if it can be revoked. Also, try to figure out on what ground(s) was Preston able to get he and Beatrice's marriage annulled. Finally, can Charlie's child support order be re-instated?
