A man from Barnsley who mixed his sperm with his father’s in order to help his partner get pregnant will not be required to take a paternity test, according to a ruling by a judge. The man and his then-partner had fertility issues and eventually had a son. Barnsley Council discovered the situation and demanded a paternity test. However, the High Court judge ruled that the council had no stake in the outcome of the test. The identities of the man, his partner, and his father cannot be revealed, as they had always intended to keep the details of the child’s conception secret.
In January, the court heard that the man, referred to as PQ, had a father-son relationship with his 5-year-old child, referred to as D. Barnsley Council discovered the situation during separate proceedings and requested DNA tests. However, the judge dismissed this request, stating that the council did not have parental responsibility or a personal interest in the child’s biological parentage.
The judge commented that the family had created a difficult situation, stating that they had not fully considered the consequences of their actions. He acknowledged that the circumstances of the child’s conception could not be changed, and without testing, the child’s biological paternity remained uncertain. He suggested that it was up to the family to manage the situation and decide if they wanted to undergo a paternity test in the future.
