I wonder what the guy's wife feels about this. He's married, ad was so at the time of conception.
I can't imagine that he wouldn't have discussed the donation with his spouse before and during the donation. It seems like (based on what I have read so far) that he was sincere in wanting to assist these women and did his best to make sure that everyone's intent (that the child was the women's, and he did not want any claim or responsibility for the child) was made clear.
If he took the time to do that, I would imagine that he discussed it at length with his spouse.
This is just another example of how social interactions, biology and all of the related issues are not as binary as we (and the law) would like to imagine them to be.
As someone mentioned earlier, this is likely a matter of a faceless bureaucrat not even looking into the details and simply following established procedure (go after the biologic father). Now that it is public, some politician will likely make some calls and straighten this (pardon the pun) out. If not, when it goes to court, I suspect that the issue would be more appropriately addressed.
Indeed. I would not want to be that functionary. Though I would love to be in the office when he is trying to justify his "just following procedure."
But, I mean if this has strained the relationship with the guy's wife. In truth, we don't know who the driver was in this decision. It could have been the guy, it could also have been his wife. But, either way, being told you are on the hook for back support WILL put a dent in a relationship.
