Sperm donor ordered to pay Child Support by the CSA
In a staggering display of heartlessness from the child support agency, they have been deducting over £400 per month from the pay of Andy Bathie, a fireman from North London, for children he fathered as a sperm donor!
Andy donated sperm to a lifelong friend of his so that she and her lesbian partner could have a child. They eventually had two children, both as it transpired fathered by Andy’s sperm.
However, the lesbian couple split up, prompting the mother to pursue child support from the father, a bewildered Andy Bathie. Andy says they had an agreement that he would be under no financial or moral obligation to any child fathered from his donation as he was merely helping out a couple that could not have children. The CSA, in their infinite wisdom, see it differently. They say Andy has an obligation to his two children, requiring him to pay child support.
Furthermore, they have been deducting money direct from his pay with a DEO (deduction of earnings order). Andy claims he cannot survive with over £400 being removed from his pay each month. But then, who could?

This is what happens when you don’t sign a document issued by the hfea that rids him of all responsibility. And shame on the mother in thus case, give the guy his money bk!
