It seemed like a good idea at the time

"Sperm donor" for lesbian colleague hit with action for child support eighteen years after the fact. Via The New York Post and FOX News. Several questions come to mind--"WTF were you thinking, pal?" and "Did your wife agree to this 'donation'?" Family law is one area I have avoided like the plague since passing the bar so I am no expert in the field. Reading between the lines, I wonder if the "donation" was done the old-fashioned way without the intercession of syringe, turkey baster, or anything of that sort. (Remember, the mother was a resident at the time and presumably being worked to death, paid peanuts, burdened by crushing medical school loans, and thus unlikely to afford recreational artificial insemination. A bottle of wine and an hour of "alone time" between the donor and donee is a much cheaper alternative.) If the donation occurred "the old-fashioned way" then it becomes pretty easy to see how the father is liable for child support.

YIPS from Steve-O: My only concern upon reading this (other than for the longevity of my computer monitor, now ensconced in hot decaf green tea) is that it gives the necessary plot twist for a sequel to The Big Chill, which ends pretty much with this happening. Because it's not like Mary Kay Place, William Hurt, Kevin Kline, Tom Berenger, Meg Tilly, Glenn Close, or JoBeth Williams are doing much lately.

I think I can speak for all of America when I say, "Oh, for the muthabuttloving soul of America, NO!"
