[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both involve seeking "permission" in the middle of the divorce for something that the male has no moral involvement. It's a legal "construction." If the woman is using a sperm donor she should not need "permission" from someone who is dragging on the divorce to keep her from being free to do this. It is absolutely ridiculous and patriarchal. And the stakes for her freedom are actually greater for her than the name change issue. So, yes, apples and oranges. It is far more egregious to affect her bodily autonomy for no good reason but to cause grief. A release would mean no presumption of paternity and indeed proof of no paternity. Why should permission from the man be the primary/sole method used to deal with this problem? [/quote]

Because they are married.  If you are married, you are deemed the legal father in less a judge/court says otherwise.  She can easily go back to the court for child support and claim he is the legal father as they were married and get child support.[/quote]
