The legal issues of childbearing at the age of 35

With the development of society and the improvement of women's education level, more and more women choose to greet the arrival of new life after their careers become stable. However, for women over 35 years old, a series of legal issues need to be paid attention to. This article will elaborate on four aspects of the legal issues that need attention to the 35 year old childbearing age.

Legal issues of marriage and family

First, when women over 35 decide to have children, they are often married and have established a family. In China, the Marriage Law stipulates the rights and obligations of husband and wife in living together, property disposal, property inheritance, etc. Therefore, before giving birth, women need to discuss with their husbands the family childcare arrangements after childbirth, and establish a clear division of responsibilities to avoid conflicts between husband and wife due to childbirth.

Secondly, women over 35 years old may choose to use assisted reproductive technology (ART) to achieve pregnancy. In China, ART has clear legal provisions, including scope of application, operating procedures, doctor qualifications, etc. Women need to choose a legal and reputable hospital for consultation and treatment, and pay attention to whether the hospital has the corresponding medical license and professional qualifications.

In addition, in the process of using ART, women need to sign an informed consent form, clarify their rights and risks, and keep a written contract with the hospital. If there is a medical dispute, these contracts and consents will become the basis for safeguarding rights.

Labor law issues

Women over 35 are often at the peak of their careers when they begin to give birth. Therefore, after giving birth, we need to pay attention to labor law issues to ensure that our professional rights and interests are not affected.

First, according to the Labor Law, pregnant women and breast-feeding women enjoy certain rights and interests protection, such as maternity leave, breast-feeding leave, prohibition of overtime, etc. Women need to apply to their employers for these holidays in advance and prepare relevant medical certificates and other necessary documents.

Secondly, after childbirth, women may face challenges in their career development. In some industries, age and fertility will have a certain impact on women's career development. Women need to understand and protect their rights and interests, strive for equal opportunities in the workplace, and avoid gender discrimination.

In addition, in order to avoid workplace discrimination and unfair treatment, women can also seek ways of labor dispute mediation, arbitration or litigation. Some hospitals, legal aid institutions or women's rights organizations can provide assistance and support.

Inheritance and property legal issues

When women over 35 decide to have children, they also need to consider the issue of property accumulation. In China, the inheritance law stipulates the rights and obligations of property inheritance. Women need to clarify their property status, make a will or make property planning to ensure the rights and interests of future children.

In addition, women also need to consider family financial arrangements when giving birth to the elderly. Women may have to face expenditure on children's education, medical care, pension and other aspects, and they need to be prepared in advance in terms of economy.

Legacy planning, property notarization, family trust, etc. can help women reasonably arrange their property and ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of future children are not infringed.

Medical legal issues

When giving birth, women need to pay attention to medical legal issues to protect their own and children's health and rights.

First, women need to choose qualified hospitals and doctors for prenatal examination and consultation. Women should understand the qualifications and experience of doctors and ensure that hospitals have relevant medical facilities and nursing conditions.

Secondly, women need to sign an informed consent form when giving birth to clarify the possible risks and consequences in the medical process. Women should know and inquire about the precautions before and after childbirth to avoid unnecessary damage caused by medical errors.

*Later, women also need to pay attention to medical expenses and insurance reimbursement. When selecting hospitals, you can understand the charging standards of medical expenses and check the reimbursement scope of medical insurance. Women can consider purchasing relevant commercial insurance to make up for the lack of medical insurance.

Summary

When deciding to give birth, women over 35 need to pay attention to marriage and family legal issues, labor legal issues, inheritance and property legal issues, and medical legal issues. By establishing a clear division of responsibilities, understanding legal holidays and rights, and making good property planning and reasonable medical choices, women can protect their own health and rights as well as those of their children. At the same time, women can also use the support provided by legal aid institutions and women's rights organizations to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
