If this is true she (the mother) is truly acting like an Uber-Bitch.

Makes you wonder if she conceived of the whole idea just to be financially compensated. Or to keep him in her life.

In the following blurb look at the bolded paragraph. Read that way, even a written agreement may not have mattered because child support is the right of the child, not the mother.


HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A man must pay child support to a woman who conceived twin boys with his sperm through in vitro fertilization, the state Superior Court ruled.

Joel L. McKiernan said when he agreed to be a sperm donor for Ivonne V. Ferguson, a co-worker he had an affair with, she promised she wouldn't seek support payments, but in 1999, she began seeking support, according to court documents.

McKiernan must pay up to $1,500 a month under the ruling by Superior Court Judge Patrick R. Tamilia. Tamilia wrote that the oral agreement between McKiernan and Ferguson was essentially worthless because the rights to child support belong to the twins, not to either parent.

His opinion upheld a 2002 Dauphin County Court ruling.
