§2720.9. Termination of contract by notice
A. Before each in utero embryo transfer, the gestational carrier or either of the intended parents may terminate the gestational carrier contract by filing a motion with the court giving notice of termination and serving all other parties with the motion. Upon filing of the motion, the court shall issue an order vacating the Order Preceding Embryo Transfer.
B. Neither a gestational carrier nor her spouse, if she is married, is liable to the intended parents for terminating a gestational carrier contract pursuant to this Section.
C. Absent timely notice of termination by an intended parent or the gestational carrier, no court shall terminate an enforceable gestational carrier contract after issuance of a valid Order Preceding Embryo Transfer except for good cause shown after a hearing. No court shall terminate a gestational carrier contract after a successful in utero embryo transfer.
