From what I've heard about the case, the man and woman were married and tried to have a kid. His contract with the sperm center specifically said if he didn't pay, they'd destroy his sample. He and his wife divorced, and she kept sending in payments for 8 months after the divorce. She then forged a document with his signature, and stole a notary's seal to stamp it. Then she committed fraud and got the sperm center to knock her up. Then after she got pregnant, she sued for child support. She committed 3 crimes, (forgery, theft, and fraud) and she's rewarded by getting child support.
The lawyers used the same old line of "It's not the child's fault if the mother committed fraud...theft...forgery...etc. so why should the child suffer?" But the truth is it's not the father's fault either. It's only the mother's fault and she should bear 100% of the responsibility. Not only should she not get child support, the child should be taken away from her and she should go to prison. Then the fertility center should pay for the child to be raised by her father (if he chooses) or someone else.
