If you do, the English Family Court can take this into account if a dispute arises. Whilst the court's paramount consideration is the welfare of the child, your known donor agreement can be important evidence, clearly illustrating what was intended, understood, and agreed between you and your donor. Vardags can support you with tailored legal advice on the preparation of a known donor agreement, legal parenthood and parental responsibility for a child conceived through known donation, resolving a legal dispute with a known donor or other party, and fertility treatment law in the UK with donor sperm and eggs (including informed consent to treatment at a UK fertility clinic). **If you're considering or going through a divorce, click below for a free initial consultation with one of our expert solicitors.** [Click here to read](https://vardags.com/faq/fertility-surrogacy/known-donor-agreement) more or [here for our complete list of Divorce FAQs](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce) [Book Your Free Consultation](https://vardags.com/contact "Book Your Free Consultation") [Vardags climbs ranks of UK's biggest firms in The Lawyer's UK 200](https://vardags.com/posts/vardags-london-climbs-ranks-of-uks-biggest-firms-in-the-lawyers-uk-200) OUR FULL RANGE OF SERVICES -------------------------- Vardags is one of the UK's top divorce law firms.
