Legal Question in Family Law in California
crazy question
My wife and I are in the process of seperating. She is threatening to have a baby by invetro and making me take care of baby, even though I have no parts in decision. My question is: If she goes through with this, Am I responsible for the unborn child, just because I am her husband? (she's planning on using donor) I am able to have children, but she is not and I am not donating anything.. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true

Re: crazy question
The consent of the husband must be received by the doctor prior to the insemination for the husband to be the legal father. If she has a child demand a dna test to determine paternity, unless she will state in court that you cannot father a child.
