Reproductive rights are a very hotly debated topic, but in today’s episode, we’re discussing the intersection of abortion bans, IVF and fertility treatments, and ownership of embryos, especially in the context of a prenup. Julia is joined by Janene Oleaga, Esq., a family law attorney and Founder of Oleaga Law, LLC, a boutique law firm dedicated to family formation. Janene is one of the nation’s foremost experts in assisted reproductive technology and rights, including personhood laws, adoption, LGBT rights in parenthood, and so much more. We hope our conversation gives you talking points to discuss with your partner as you draft your prenup and prepare for your future.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
- In many ways, reproductive law is the Wild West of law. It’s ever changing, so it’s important to research or consult a reproductive attorney on the most up-to-date laws in your specific state.
- If you’re open to using IVF to get pregnant with your partner in the future, it’s a good idea to include embryo clauses in your prenup, which you can do through HelloPrenup.
- Some of the things you can include in embryo clauses include posthumous parenting and legal parentage, who will get the embryos in the event of a divorce, and whether you keep or destroy reproductive cells you’ve collected through fertility treatments.
