Sperm Donor Sued Over Child Support

[kalm]

KANSAS CITY, Kansas (Reuters) - A Kansas man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple so they could have a child said on Wednesday he is shocked the state is now trying to make him pay child support.

William Marotta, 46, donated sperm to Jennifer Schreiner and Angela Bauer under a written agreement that he would not be considered the father of the child nor liable for child support. A daughter, now 3, was born to Schreiner.

But in October, the state of Kansas filed a petition seeking to have Marotta declared the father of the child and financially responsible for her after the couple encountered money difficulties.

Marotta will ask the court in a hearing January 8 to dismiss the claim, which centers on a state law that the sperm must be donated through a licensed physician in order for the father to be free of any later financial obligations. Marotta gave a container of semen to the couple, who found him on Craigslist, instead of donating through a doctor or clinic.

Not sure if that's sarcasm, but it says the state is suing, not the couple.

That's the price you pay for thinking with your d*ck.

This isn't surprising. They probably went on food stamps/EBT, and naturally the state wants to recoup costs. The same thing happened when I went to live with my biological father while I was in high school. We went on food stamps, and the county sued my mom for child support...despite the fact that according to the divorce decree HE was supposed to pay HER child support; he was YEARS in arrears (he never did pay up before he died).

Government does illogical things to get their money. I'm not saying the government is right or wrong in this case; I'm just saying that it's not a surprise.

How did the state know the rugmunchers were having financial difficulty? Where's Spandos?
