More details to this question:
Married 3 years - had frozen embryos. We filed an uncontested divorce 1/30 with stating Husband to be considered "sperm donor" with no responsibility should a future pregnancy occur and Husband gave her the embryos Divorce supposed to be finalized 3/1. Wife had embryos implanted 2/16 without telling Husband and now is seeking insurance and child support since she is pregnant and stalling the divorce.

There is a possibility he could be on the hook for support.

This is a very novel case. In my opinion, the husband is liable for child support. In California, sperm donors are normally not considered to be the chid's father. But the statutes require that a certain protocol be followed. Here, that does not appear to be the case.
