This chicks Instagram is all parody and since she is getting attention she keeps doing it and upping the story, it’s old, it’s fake and we should ban content from her because it’s beneath us

This isn’t real. The girl is literally just rage baiting and the guy is playing along with the act

It is illegal almost everywhere to sue a sperm donor for child support.

Let’s get some media literacy and stop caving into rage bait please guys 🤦🏽‍♂️

Fake news. Next.

It was my understanding that in the US, as long as you do sperm donation through legit recognized businesses/medical practitioners, you can not be saddled with child support.

Is this in the US?

What was the loophole?

If this is true, on the face of it, sperm donation will pretty much cease to be a thing.

**EDIT**

There is an update video where the guy says that he's lawyered up and the lawyer feels pretty confident that this will get thrown out and the guy will get paid back the thousands in child support he was unlawfully ordered to pay. I'll believe that he'll get paid back when I see it, and would NOT be holding my breath. However, it does stand to reason that the order to pay child support will be vacated, with his automatic paycheck garnishments ceasing sometime within 6 to 24 months from the date of the order being vacated, and only requiring between 2 and 4 additional visits to court to get them to stop garnishing his paycheck.

Something to consider though - there is moderate success for some people using quasi-professional means of artificial insemination - i.e. the turkey baster method. People might go this route to avoid the CONSIDERABLE expense of IVF/AI clinics and so forth.

BE WARNED as a male, if you are approached by, for example, some lesbian friends, or any friends, or even family members who want you to donate sperm so they can have a kid, MAKE SURE that you do this through a legit medical clinic. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS THROUGH LEGIT MEANS, YOU HAVE NO PROTECTION AGAINST FUTURE CHILD SUPPORT, REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER HOME-BAKED CONTRACTS YOU SIGN.

It should also go without saying that if a couple asks you to actually have physical intercourse with one of them to impregnate her, that you will have no protection against future child support payments.

The video is basically fake - essentially there for the views and what it gets those who posted it, and also many indications it's fake - basically intended as entertainment b.s. E.g. "some laws changed and" ... not how it works, in general can't change the laws after-the fact, e.g. can't change law to make earlier act that was then legal to subsequently become retroactively illegal.
sperm donor & child support liability/obligation/requirements & not
- varies by jurisdiction, but typically (e.g. CA.US*):
  - if it's done through a licensed physician (e.g. a legitimate sperm bank) and the donor is not the husband of the woman, the donor has no parental obligations nor rights - e.g. no child support liability
  - if, however, it's not done as noted above (e.g. pair of individuals write up their own contract, she buys semen from him, and inseminates herself), the "donor" in such case is legally the parent, with all the obligations and rights that come with that. Note that in general, (bio) parents or parents to-be can't give/sign away the rights of (potential) minor child - e.g. their right to child support.
when in doubt, do some actual fact checking ... including things like applicable jurisdiction and applicable laws.

*e.g.: California Code, Family Code - FAM § 7613:

The donor of semen provided to a licensed physician and surgeon or to a licensed sperm bank for use in assisted reproduction by a woman other than the donor's spouse is treated in law as if the donor is not the natural parent of a child thereby conceived, unless otherwise agreed to in a writing signed by the donor and the woman prior to the conception of the child.

... anyway, there's lots more details, including some stuff covering other agreements in the latest (looks like it may have changed a bit since I last recall reading it some decades earlier). I am not a lawyer/attorney, nor do I play one on TV. You may want to well read the applicable code/laws yourself for your jurisdiction and/or consult an actual lawyer/attorney.

What about if you want to donate sperm and pay SOME AGREED upon child support?

Say you like a woman and want to have children with her. But you don't want to get sued for $200k a month child support, but $5k a month.

Can you make a deal?

Not sure if the specific story is true. But in the US you are liable for child support. Sperm banks have been sued to turn over names to courts.

Luckily the women who use sperm banks don't want a sperm donor involved, because with money comes visitation rights. Also, the women who use sperm banks usually have resources.

There have been cases where woman becomes disabled and need state/fed support and the state sued for father's identity.

It's "what's in the best interest of the child". They'll make you pay back child support too, so you'll owe from day 1.

I'd say don't donate sperm. Plus your kid would be raised by some weird ultra feminist.

Of course it's fake when it's something that sheeple hate hearing, if it was a scenario in which a man did something grotesque then that would've been 100% real despite being 0 evidence provided.

I donated a lot of sperm about 25 years ago and this hasn’t happened to me and I’m assuming my kids are mostly grown with children of their own by now. This is the only case of this I’ve ever heard of and as others in this thread have mentioned it’s not a serious case that won’t end up going in the man’s favour.
