Should he have to pay child support?

[v2prwsmb45yhuq3wj23vpjk]

unless he signed some sort of approved consent form the sperm donation agency they are are still legally his,

im prity sure you need to so something like that to legally donate

If you read the thing, it says he gave up all rights and responsibilities to the children, financial and otherwise.

hmm seems i missed that part and if that is the case it'll be the work of some idiot thta didnt do their job right

yep seems i did miss that bit when i read it the 1st time

[grandpab]

I'm not sure how this is even a question. Simple common sense solves this one.

It's more like the state attempting to go after somebody to 'get their money'. I believe I read a case where the state was going after a rape victim in order to get money because the state had had to pay for the child.

[Tuvok]

Use common sense and stop being bureaucratic fuckwits, for fuck's sake. Examine the facts, if it is blindingly obious he is a donor, exempt him from child support - simple as that. It is not hard to solve, people just need to stop being dumbasses.

I dislike Fox news too, but man, you could at least try reading it to see if they're spinning it really hard. It's not like they spin everything, they just spin the things that they need to in order to appeal to their target audience. If a case already fits this, they don't need to do anything.

I was going to complain about how terrible of an OP that was, but I got enough laughs out of the story...after clicking the link to see wtf I was even looking at.

"...after responding to the women’s Craigslist ad for a donor..."

Ya, that is always the best idea. Maybe don't give your sperm out willy nilly to strangers that you meet on Craigslist. And wtf were these people up to looking for another kid if they have 8!?

Why do people want more kids if they can't afford to take care of themselves!!??!!??!!??

That's not for him to decide. You can't just decide that a certain law doesn't apply to you anymore. Legally the kids are his responsibility.

It's a shitty situation, but those are the facts. Perhaps they can come to some sort of arrangement where the couple give him the money every month and it comes out of his bank account, though that might be far more contact than the three of them wanted. That said, they got themselves into this situation by using a sperm donor from Craigslist. The likelihood of problems was fairly high when they decided to go ahead with what they did.

Bullshit. He did not have sex with anybody, he donated his genetic material for other people with which to have their own children. They are NOT his children. If we're base decisions on genetics only then why isn't debt inherited from your brothers or sons if they cannot pay? Because that's bullshit, that's why.

Also, the state is doing this so it can recover its money from having to pay for the women. They need the money, but the state is seeking it from him because it doesn't want to pay.

sorry ur wrong

his sperm so there his biological kids so i can see how legally he may have to pay child support

This sort of attitude could be seriously damaging to any couple or even single woman who needs to seek a sperm donor for the purposes of conception. I imagine very few men will want to consent to having no legal rights as a father to the child, but still having financial responsibility for it.

A sperm donor is giving a woman who, for whatever reason is unable to concieve, a gift; you shouldn't slap them in the face for doing that.

People like you are annoying as hell, fox is usually the top of google search and doesnt have 14 different scripts. Foxnews has 2 scripts, both trusted. Get noscript if that flew over your head.

Stuff like this is why were bankrupt as a nation, how much do you think this is costing taxpayers?

[Neonic]

No no no no no

Actually if anything when he donated he should have had to sign some sort of waiver or contract saying there will be no recourse to him or he will not be able to ever sue for custody when he wanted to. This case is just another false claim made by idiotic politicians. If anything he could sue for his legal fees and such back from the state because I don't see how this is legal.

No its not because the scripts you claim. Its because Foxnews just like their tv channel is usually wrong or wayyyyyy off from what happened. Or be it their predictions are wayyyy off, *cough* election predictions *cough*. If I was to search for this article right now google doesn't even come up with a foxnews link for me on the first page so there again another lie from you. Just like all of your other posts. Especially considering the FoxNews article left out a key part of the story.

"Even though the couple has a signed agreement with Marotta, the state is arguing the validity of the agreement because a doctor did not handle the artificial insemination as required by state law. Hannah Schroller, Marotta’s attorney is attempting to have the case dismissed. Arguments will be heard in state court next month."

Maybe Chadwix needs to look at more articles than just the FoxNews article. It brings in information Fox usually leaves out.

Why does your link have facebook.com, fbcdn.net (facebook), chiktika.net (lol?)? Why do i need to hit someone's facebook page to read a news article?

Thanks for bringing more information to the story.

You gotta admit, the people who go nuts over foxnews are fun to laugh at, have you ever seen someone get worked up over a url or television station?

Id demand access to kid then. Not going to let investment be mentally ruined by a pair of dykes.

Infracted - Post respectfully

[I am Teh Lawl]

just threw up a little bit after reading first 2 paragraphs. What the hell is going on guys?

[someotherguy]

I'm sure if you donate to a sperm bank, you get a waiver from child support.
And if you donated ... and didn't get that waiver ... I find it pretty hilarious.
Hopefully this amounts to nothing more than a scare that you should know what you're doing, there should be a law about have common-sense expectation (such as if donors to sperm bank, don't get child support, neither do these types of donors).

[Dedweight]

It is technically his kid and needs support. How is this any different than a man who wants his woman to get an abortion, she has the kid and he is on the hook for support?

So if I donate a kidney I should pay for any additional medical costs the receiver obtains in the event the kidney fails down the road? After the kidney/sperm is donated it would technically no longer belong to the donor and as such I should not be penalized for any event that takes place after the time of the donation.
