JS: "However, there are other cases -- roughly characterized as homemade artificial inseminations, especially by a man known to the mother, especially without an airtight pre-conception agreement ruling out child support -
- in which an award of child support wouldn't be dubious at all."
BVA:
And why should a woman be responsible for what a man has rendered???
-- Because she lives in one of the roughly two-thirds of the states that have adopted the Uniform Parentage Act ("UPA"), and, as I said before, especially where the insemination had physician involvement.
-- Because of other circumstances, as I also previously indicated -- e.g. anonymity of sperm bank donation, or pre-conception agreement between known donor and recipient, which lead a court to find against an award of child support even in cases not governed by the UPA,

JS: "Of course this thread (like many here) gives people the opportunity to indulge in fact-free dissertation
, as there is no publicly available information as to the circumstances of Ms. Johnson's pregnancy."
BVA: The original posting: What in this isn't factual??
Facetious Maybe
I refer, as I said, to the absence of publicly available facts about the insemination, which as the article indicates are crucial in determining liability for child support.
BVA :
ISN'T THE SPERM DONOR RESPONSIBLE FOR GLORY'S CHILD???? If a guy meets a girl in a bar and then "donates" sperm he becomes responsible for any child that may come from that collision. Griner, most probably wasn't the sperm donor!! Glory has to look for the guy who donated at the sperm bank.
Being responsible in a physical sense, which you seem to be talking about, and responsible in a financial sense, which depends on the facts and the applicable law, are not necessarily the same thing.
BVA: Obviously you are not giving this thread the
serious consideration it really deserves.
I have no idea why you would say that.
Kind sir; please elucidate that which is fact free??
Thoses with a limited sense of humor---live a very unhealthy life.
One point you failed to realize in this AMERICA laws and regulations are all subject to revision, change, and elimination because some one asked the questions I asked. No regulation or law is fixed in lead.
Loosens up and live longer!!
I hope I have done so. The "fact free" BTW is a little self-deprecatory jest about the speculation-based opinions that come natural to us Boneyarders. I do that often. The absence of important facts in the present discussion is, moreover, a fact.
