A married woman who, over the objections of her husband, used another man's sperm to have two girls could not convince a judge that her husband should be deemed the children's father.
"There is no evidence that the Husband encouraged the Wife to participate in IVF [in vitro fertilization]; that he told her that he would support and act as a father to any child born as a result; or that he held himself out to anyone as the father of HM and KM," Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ellen Gesmer (See Profile) wrote in SQ v. JM, 307032/11.
