I hope they make him pay for his kid and all the others they adopted just because he’s stupid. Look what this country has come to.
” The legal agreement that the three made in 2009 was deemed invalid by Kansas state because they did not use a certified doctor for the insemination.”
Then what did they use?
On second thought, I don’t want to know.
‘Sounds like karma to me. I believe God has the exclusive right to “make” children.
A man is paid to impregnate a woman he's never met.
That woman is pretending another woman is, effectively, a man.
During this pretense, eight children are recruited/produced/indoctrinated into this imaginary household.
The imaginary household tries to become a full-time business by looking for government to pay it for existing.
The government, in a bizarre moment of lucidity, attempts to do the right thing by making the father of a child support that child.
In the meantime the imaginary household/government-subsidized business enterprise falls apart.
Eight presumably innocent children were brainwashed and emotionally abused by three morons while responsible adults were forced to pay for it.
In the meantime, the three scam artists continue their rent-seeking while pretending that it is them - and not the unoffending children - who have been done an injustice.
Also, apparently everyone involved in this story is morbidly obese.
This is Great Britain, which is a little further down the road to perversion than we are in the U.S. - but not much.
Shouldn’t the lesbian spouse be forced to pay?
I mean hey- they wanted equal rights.
When you adopt children and then get divorced, you have to pay - why doesn’t she?
She agreed to it, and made the guy sign away his parental rights and financial responsibilities. If he signed the financial responsibilities away that means THEY AGREED to be responsible, so SHE SHOULD PAY.
because they did not use a certified doctor for the insemination
This is the 'legal' issue...the fact that they decided to forgo the State mucking about in their business. WHY was a certified doctor needed? Obviously not because the results would differ. They did a pretty good job on their own [obviously].
There IS a written private contract where the donor already gave up any rights to the child, and without the Right, there can be no Duty.
Then there's this:
Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
Bills of attainder, ex post facto laws, and laws impairing the obligation of contracts, are contrary to the first principles of the social compact, and to every principle of sound legislation. The two former are expressly prohibited by the declarations prefixed to some of the State Constitutions, and all of them are prohibited by the spirit and scope of these fundamental charters.

Stupidity is not a crime punishable by government, and I am heartily glad this guy has decided to lawyer up and fight this idea that the State gets to regulate every single aspect of our lives.
If the 'couple' is named as parents in HIS contract let THEM foot the bill for their grand scheme to 'play house'.
Just like women should be protective of themselves sexually, men should be protective of themselves like not spreading their “seed” around. Contrary to what society says, sex outside of marriage is like playing with fire.
In my younger days not knowing any better, I was careful not to impregnate a woman like in a one-night stand. If impregnated and a baby was born, that would be my kid and all the headaches in parenting without marriage.
Now I have a 13 year old and I emphasize to him that he should wait until marriage and try to emphasize the consequences of playing around outside of marriage.
I agree about forcing him to support HIS kid. Let traitors like him get stuck with supporting their children, as a warning to others who would do this.
As for supporting the others, let's just say I won't run to his defense if it happens.
Look what this country has come to.
Yup. I miss the 80s.
