Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
What is the statue of limitations on entrapment
My husband has twins by a lesbian mother who purposely got pregnant 16 yrs ago after being told that my husband was not interested in having children. She got a temporary order the day before christmas for almost 50% of his take home pay and we are going to court regarding college costs and continuing this high amount of child support. Our life has been extremely difficult dealing with her control issues among other things and she has crossed the line repeatedly. We are considering sueing her for entrapment and all costs, past and future, for the twins. Has the statue of limitations passed for this and if so, are there other avenues we can pursue. We only want to get to the point where we can deal directly with the twins and not their mother. Thank you in advance for any information you can give us to try to deal with this situation. I really appreciate your listening to this request.

What is the statue of limitations on entrapment
There is no cause of action for entrapment to create a pregnancy. If the man voluntarily entered into
sexual relations, then he assumed the risk that the woman could get pregnant. Massachusetts does
not punish children for the actions of their mother. I am unaware of any theory for suing the mother for
money unless your husband has custody. THIS COMMUNICATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE THE
CREATION OF AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. Legal rights vary greatly depending on
specific facts, and it is impossible on the basis of the recitation of a few facts to determine whether or
not an individual has a viable case, what is the full range of options, or what limitations exist which may
bar an individual's potential claims. ON THE BASIS OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO ME, I
RECOMMEND THAT YOU PROMPTLY CONSULT AN ATTORNEY TO DETERMINE THE SCOPE OF
LEGAL RECOURSE, IF ANY, YOU MAY HAVE. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON ANYTHING I HAVE
STATED AS ADVICE TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY TO DISCUSS
FULLY AN APPROPRIATE COURSE OF ACTION.
