State trying to make sperm donor pay child support

the gov't should not be able to undo an agreement between people. helloooo. this is just wrong on allll counts. what would the govt do if she got knocked up by sojmeone she met at a club? hunt down the guys dna? are we going to need a dna now?

and jsut because she didn't PAY to go through a 3rd party makes her way of getting pregnant less viable! if this guy gets nailed for child support, I will officially contribute court fees for it to go all the way to the supreme court.
the state is wrong. period

Well then you're as worthless as he is. He had an OBLIGATION to ensure they had the proper resources to raise a child instead of taxpayers footing the bill for the stupidity of these ugly beasts. I say make him pay through the nose.

OPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple after answering an online ad is fighting the state's efforts to suddenly force him to pay child support for the now 3-year-old girl, arguing that he and the women signed an agreement waiving all of his parental rights.

The case hinges on the fact that no doctors were used for the artificial insemination. The state argues that because William Marotta didn't work through a clinic or doctor, as required by state law, he can be held responsible for about $6,000 that the child's biological mother received through public assistance — as well as future child support.

Angela de Rocha, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Children and Families, said that when a single mother seeks benefits for a child, it's routine for the department to try to determine the child's paternity and require the father to make support payments to lessen the potential cost to taxpayers.

Marotta, a 46-year-old Topeka resident, answered an online ad in 2009 from a local couple, Angela Bauer and Jennifer Schreiner, who said they were seeking a sperm donor. After exchanging emails and meeting, the three signed an agreement relieving Marotta of any financial or paternal responsibility.

But instead of working with a doctor, Marotta agreed to drop off a container with his sperm at the couple's home and the women successfully handled the artificial insemination themselves. Schreiner become pregnant with a girl.

Late last year, after she and Bauer broke up, Schreiner received public assistance from the state to help care for the girl.

The Kansas Department for Children and Families filed a court petition against Marotta in October, asking that he be required to reimburse the state for the benefits and make future child support payments. Marotta is asking that the case be dismissed, arguing that he's not legally the child's father, only a sperm donor.

A hearing is set for Tuesday.

Marotta told The Topeka-Capital Journal that he is "a little scared about where this is going to go, primarily for financial reasons."

It must have been artificial insemanation, nobody could look at either one of them and get it up!

The child is genetically his and he has a responsibility to provide for that child. I have no pity for him. Although if money was not the issue, we all know that the court would not have granted him visitation. They would have claimed that the child already had two parents, the lesbian idiots.

Our child support laws are downright evil. I know someone who is genetically not the father of a child, he never adopted the child, and he was never married to the mother, but he has to pay child support. His problem is that he was dating the mother and let her put his name down on the Birth Certificate. Proving that he wasn't the father did no good, he still has to pay.

* they as in the child of the messed up situation .

ALL the girls get pretty at closing time.

I wonder what you people would be commenting if it were a heterosexual couple, and the male was sterile, and the woman was impregnated in the same way by the same donor?

So if this was a hetero couple that needed a donor then the couple broke up would it be fair that the donor would have to pay child support or the childs father.

or are you blinede by biggotry?

It doesn't matter who the idiots are who he gave his sperm to, the child is his flesh and blood.

Yeah its a crying shame. But he should have read the fine print.

Like I said, adopt the kid its a better alternative then paying child support and having no say in how your seed grows up.

Someone already said this, if you are male, never trust a lesbian.
Usually there is a deep seated hatred of men, and they would like nothing more than to fuck you over.

Every lesbian I have dealt with has had it out for me, they won't admit it, but they hate all men.

exploited,

One other VERY IMPORTANT thing.

This is not about lesbians! Its about the state and its ceaseless and insanely inane march to control us. Teh dykes aint exploiting you (US); THE STATE IS.

You guys are not getting the true point here: homossexuals are the cause of a great part of the problems of the actual society. This twisted behavior is being imposed onto people as natural, biological and beautyfull. People are being mislead to believe that homossexuals are more intelligent, more evolved than straights. Straights are being shown as retrograde or "out of the new scope". This particular case, could be the first of many others. Sperm donors, pro-homossexuality, will now think twice before helping these homossexual "couples". They should never have done it in the first place.
I know many will disagree, but homossexuality is wrong in all points of views: moral, religious, social and even scientific. Yes, even scientifically, homossexuality is wrong. If you look through this prism, scientifically we are an evolution, a species that evolved from something else. Evolution is based on mutation of the offspring. Homossexuals cannot generate offspring(thus the need of a sperm donor), so, they will not make "the next step" of the evolutionary chain.
Now, some may arguee: I know someone that since childhood, know him/herself to be "different", and with this misinformed conclusion, will try to say that homossexuality is biological. Well, it is NOT. Homossexuality is only behavioral, children look to examples, if a child have the homossexual tendency, its not because of their "biological tendency", its because something or someone they heard or saw.
