After 7 years of marriage, it was medically determined that the defendant was sterile. His wife desired a child, by either artificial insemination or adoption. At first, the defendant refused his consent. Approximately 15 years into the marriage, the defendant agreed to artificial insemination of his wife. His wife became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. The couple separated four years after the child was born. The wife then became ill and applied for public assistance under the Aid to Needy Children program. The defendant refused to pay child support. The municipal court ordered him to pay support through the district attorney’s office. The defendant appealed. Should the defendant have to pay support?
