Sperm Donor Required to Pay Child Support (1 Viewer)

[DSP]

Title is slightly misleading.

Judge Mary Mattivi rejected that claim, saying the parties didn't involve a licensed physician in the artificial insemination process and thus Marotta didn't qualify as a sperm donor, The Topeka Capital-Journal (http://bit.ly/LHwLyW) reported.

"In this case, quite simply, the parties failed to perform to statutory requirement of the Kansas Parentage Act in not enlisting a licensed physician at some point in the artificial insemination process, and the parties' self-designation of (Marotta) as a sperm donor is insufficient to relieve (Marotta) of parental right and responsibilities to the child," Mattivi wrote.

My title or the article title?

I guess both. When I read "sperm donor" I just assume they're talking about some random schlub who deposited at a sperm bank.

I believe that there are no cases in which some random schulb made an anonymous deposit at the sperm bank, and was later hooked for child support. However, there have been cases where someone made a non-anonymous deposit at the sperm bank, and through clerical error, his sperm was given to the wrong person. It's happened a couple of times where the guy was then forced to pay child support (IIRC, black couple and white couple separately go to the same IVF clinic for help getting pregnant. Black guy's sperm accidentally gets given to both couples, and white lady gives birth to black baby. White guy doesn't want to live his life raising someone else's kid and files for divorce. Court says black guy owes support.)

What a nightmare. I would have hit the road too

WTF

I would have gotten a divorce too if I was that man. You would raise someone elses child? Especially if they were what that one is?F that. Id be gone so fast my sneakers eould catch fire

You were already going to be raising someone else's child, Einstein.

Meh, it doesn't feel that way to me.

Not sure if its been mentioned in here cause I'm not gonna read 44 posts, but the mother had no interest in pursuing this. The state found out the details and is pursuing the $6,000 they would have made.

Excellent point, that has been overlooked in this thread.

"When the couple encountered money difficulties and one sought state benefits, the state petitioned to have Marotta declared the child's father and financially responsible."

In other words, this is about Kansas not recognizing the non-biological parent as the parent. Instead, they sought out the biological father, and voided the contract because they did not follow procedure by going through the physician.

Well, to be fair, Kansas did what most people on this board would probably applaud - finding a way to save taxpayers' some money.

Arizona does this too and child support cases.

And this was my intent for the thread. I just thought the whole thing was wrong.

It is wrong, similar but different thing is happening with my family atm.

My mom is gay and is married (out of state of course, we live in Missouri). Well, my moms marriage isn't recognized by the state, so she doesn't qualify for marital benefits and recently had to file for bankruptcy.

The state is grilling my moms spouse, claiming that since they are married her spouse is on the bill for my moms bankruptcy. They can't have it both ways...

If a man is raped by a woman and a child is born, does he have to pay child support?
