Sperm Donor Not Given Joint Custody
Posted on Nov 3, 2010 5:45pm PDT
A sperm donor filed a lawsuit claiming that he wanted joint custody of the child that was born as a result of his donation. However, he has lost the lawsuit. The contract that the woman and man worked out before the matter was reportedly done without much legal help so the terms of the arrangement weren't solid. The parents of the child agreed the man could see the child occasionally. In this case though, the biological father is being treated as a sperm donor and will not be given the same rights as a father.
