So the sperm donor has to pay child support??
- konstruktor 14y agoNot yet. The doctor has been ordered to disclose the donor's identity (which, AFAIR, he claims to not to know anymore). If the identity is known, the father then could be sued for child support.

- Semaphor 14y agoAs far as I know only the US had sperm donors pay child support so far. News article about anonymity in Germany for sperm donors: http://www.dw.de/no-anonymity-for-sperm-donors-court-rules/a-16582786 http://www.dw.de/no-anonymity-for-sperm-donors-court-rules/a...

I did not think that this kind of insanity was possible outside of a mental institution but apparently it is. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/01/02/us-sperm-donor-kansas-court-lesbian-couple.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/01/02/us-sperm-donor... The insanity is that it's not the woman who recieved the donation who was fighting for child support but the state.
