New Mexico Court: Sperm donor liable for child support despite contrary written agreement with lesbians
The Leonard Link Blog reports: “Deciding what appears to be a question of first impression in New Mexico, the state’s court of appeals, an intermediate appellate court, ruled on July 25 that a written agreement excusing a sperm donor from any child support obligation was unenforceable under the circumstances, so the man was obligated to pay child support to a lesbian who bore two children from his donated sperm . . . Mintz v. Zoernig, No. 27,794 (N.M.Ct.App., July 25, 2008).”
