Question
I have agreed to have a baby and donate sperm with a single lesbian woman, we have agreed on most things but I wanted to know what is the norm financially. We have agreed that we will both look after the baby, but she will be the main carer and have the final say. However we are yet to talk about finances, she has mentioned she would like the child to go private school and made comments about not being able to earn while she is pregnant. She earns a lot less than me, what should I be expected to pay or is this an area up for negotiation? I may want to move abroad, but will the child be able to come and visit? I want to be fair, yet not taken to the cleaners... Do solicitors help with the negotiation process or just drawing up contracts? Click here for answer...
