Family Law

Mombian reports on a recent case involving a lesbian mom in Texas who may lose custody of her son to the sperm donor. When Tamila and her partner, Jennie, decided to have children, Jennie's uncle seemed like a good choice as donor. The child would have genetic links through both parents since Tamila would carry the child. While Tamila and Jennie were together, the arrangement worked out fine. However when they split, the situation deteriorated. Now, the donor is suing for custody and Tamila faces the prospect of spending only one weekend a month with her son. This case illustrates the need for consulting with an attorney before entering into a sperm donor arrangement.
