When parents disagree, litigation between parents regarding a proposed circumcision of an infant son may end up in family court.
==Adult suits for child circumcision==
An adult may sue for an injury incurred as a child after reaching the age of majority. Such suits are subject to statutes of limitation which prescribe strict time limits for instituting such suits. The prescription varies by jurisdiction.
For example, [[William Stowell]] brought a suit against the doctor who performed his circumcision and the hospital where the circumcision occurred. The suit resulted in an out-of-court settlement.
