A Swedish man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple will have to pay child support, the Supreme Court has ruled.
The man, from Örebro, is biological father to three children with the couple. The Supreme Court has now confirmed rulings by two lower courts that he is liable to support them.
The 39-year old man donated his sperm to the lesbian couple at the beginning of the nineties. Three sons were born between 1992 and 1996.
The man claims that it was never intended that he should take reponsibility for the children, but rather that the women would be their parents and he would meet them occasionally.
Under pressure from the women he signed a document admitting paternity, and on this basis the court decided that he had the financial duties of a father.

I might be able to see this if he made a "direct deposit"..
Sorry for ya 'pod.... it's a bad deal I wouldn't wish on anyone. But there is no way you can divide up an apple and end up with halves that are the same size as the whole was.
Did not David Crosby provide the "father role" for Melissa Etheridge and her significant other to have children? Wonder how he feels now?
I thought it was Brad Pitt. There's been a lot of rumour, not sure the wimmen have ever confirmed who it was.
You're right... Who knows what goes on in Swedish courts, not sure we can compare law there to law here, but I bet the devil is in that document he signed.
You'll end up paying just because you're an evil man.
Yeah, what did he think they were going to do with it anyway?
All i wanted was equal treatment under the law which I did not get.
Child support case law (particularly in the People's Republic of Maryland) is not father friendly.
This might put a serious crimp in the sperm bank business!
You are responsible for the children you co-create. Period.
I strongly suspect the two wanted a daughter so they could indoctrinate her into their club.
I knew a woman once who's daugter became a lesbian and suddenly her partner and her daughter wanted to take her younger daughter overnight. These folks love to pass their twisted thoughts on to others, especially impressionable youth.

probably avoiding known summons servers.
So if you have an infertile birth mother who had an egg donor is the female egg donor responsible to pay child support to the birth mother?
Excellent! LOL
