Title 10. Children
§10-557.24. Breach of agreement.

A. This section shall govern the breach of validated gestational agreements and any gestational agreements that have not been validated, but only to the extent those nonvalidated gestational agreements are otherwise enforceable under the Oklahoma Gestational Agreement Act.
