The scr-w-ng you get for the scr-w-ng you...didn't get?
Seriesly, IIRC, I thought that the law exempted the donor in a documented sperm donation from paying child support. (Yep, I realize that there was no documentation here.) I also think that this law will be overturned by judicial fiat or jury nullification as soon as some sleezeball trial liar lawyer whines "It's for the CHILLLLLDRUN!"

I would never trust a verbal agreement about anything potentially worth over $1,000. For a sperm donor agreement, I would require a notorized contract.

Well, that does it for me. No more donations here, either!
I'm boycotting...

After a two year affair, you have to wonder how he "donated" his sperm.

This should be a wake up call for all of those J**K-Off idiots. Maybe it will become difficult for lesbo couples to get sperm unless its from David Crosby.

I have no problem with this. The child support is for the children, and they never agreed to grant the father an exemption.

Okay class, repeat after me:
"I will not marry a woman or let her become pregnant by me."
"This way I will get to keep all my stuff and my own sanity."

Well when your talking "sperm donor" the term "Deadbeat Dads" does take on a somewhat new spin

Aim low...shoot high.
That won't work...Bill Clinton tried that method and it got him a bit of flack, along with a good part of his legacy.
