In my opinion E.T. should be held accountable to support the child. They wanted the child. She inseminated vials of sperm into her partner. She cut the umbilical cord at the child's birth and cared for the child until they broke up. It's E.T's responsibility to help provide support for that child. She wanted the child at the time and did what ever was necessary to have the child. The courts should order her to pay back child support.

The former partner of a mother of a child born through donor insemination may have an obligation to pay child support.

According to a complaint - filed in Rockland County, N.Y. - by H.M., the parties lived as a couple for more than five years, beginning in August 1989. H.M. was a stay-at-home mother to E.T.'s children, while her partner completed chiropractic school. The plan was for H.M. to then go to school, and for the couple to have children.
