Sperm Donor for Lesbian Couple... Can it come back to haunt me? (Louisiana) (self.legaladvice)

thesymphony が 投稿

So I have these lesbian friends who asked if I'd be willing to provide my sperm so they can get pregnant. I said yes on the condition that we get a contract made and notarized saying I would have no financial or legal obligations to the child at all. After everything was written out and signed I starting giving them semen.

Initially I was masturbating in a cup and giving it to them for a few weeks but with no luck so they asked if I'd be willing to have sex with both of them to see if it would increase their chances. I agreed. But now I'm starting to have second thoughts.

I'm no lawyer and being a sperm donor to a lesbian couple in Louisiana seems like it could have its gray areas in the future. My question is, even with us having a contract written saying I'd have no legal connection to the child on paper besides being a donor, could this still come back and bite me in the ass?

Your contract means jackshit.

Do not believe me?

If you want to do this without hassle, go through a sperm donation clinic.

If you put your penis in her vagina you are not a sperm donor. You are the biological and legal father. No contract changes that.

Same for sperm in a cup.

Absent an attorney and a doctor, anything else is not a sperm donor.

Well, I have good news and bad news for you.

The good news is that this isn't at all a gray area. It's a very simple question.

The bad news is that your contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. If you get either of these women pregnant, you have the same rights and responsibilities as if you'd gotten a girlfriend pregnant -- including 18 years of child support and being the child's legal parent.

The one and only way to be a "sperm donor" is to go to a doctor, complete the appropriate paperwork, and use artificial insemination. This is not something you can DIY with no consequences.

That contract is moot. If they file for state benefits, the state will come after you for child support. Or they could just file for child support themselves. And you will be ordered to pay it.

It's a terrible idea. Let them go through an actual sperm donation clinic.

I mean, it's a little late to ask this question, isn't it? Notarization does nothing to make a contract official, it just testifies to the fact that the person claiming to be the signatory was actually the one signing the document. Most states will hold that unless a doctor is involved, you're a legal father.

I'm no lawyer and being a sperm donor to a lesbian couple in Louisiana seems like it could have its gray areas in the future.

It isn't grey, it's clear that your legal protections have no protections and will trigger child support liability in the future, should they pursue payment or public benefits.
