Has a sperm donor ever had to pay child support?

Do sperm donors have legal obligations?

The legal standing of the known donor may often depend on how the child was conceived. State laws vary on sperm donors and parental rights.

Are sperm donors responsible for the kids?

Can children find their sperm donor?
