[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that, but it should be done in the form of a "release" and genetic tests not his "permission." Proof that I'm using a sperm donor should be sufficient for the release. It's due to archaic presumption laws regarding marriage and parenthood, and the prior stigma re illegitimacy. Prefer to get the release from a judge (which I will try to do), rather than have to ask ex for "permission."[/quote]

Even the release would require his consent, or at least give consideration to his views. Plenty of married couples have babies using donated eggs and/or sperm with the intention of both spouses being the parents to that child, so that alone would not be dispositive as to whether this were legally his baby or not. You can request a release from the judge, but the judge most likely will still going to ask for input from your husband on the matter before ruling. Have you already found the egg donor? If you started the process while married and are now trying to cut your husband out of it, that's going to be highly problematic if he doesn't consent. If you'd be starting from scratch post-release/consent, though, that's an easier situation.[/quote]
