A man who mixed his sperm with his father’s to help get his partner pregnant will not be forced to take a paternity test, the high court has ruled.

The man, identified as PQ as he cannot be named for legal reasons, and his partner (JK) had experienced fertility problems and were not able to afford IVF treatment, the court heard at a hearing last month.

As a result he agreed to mix his sperm with his father’s (RS), which was then injected into the woman. The arrangement, which Justice Poole was informed had been “always intended” to be kept secret, led to the birth of a now five-year-old boy (D).

But once Barnsley council became aware of the circumstances of the boy’s conception as a result of separate proceeding, it launched a legal bid to determine his parentage.

The authority called upon the high court in Sheffield to direct that DNA tests should be carried out to determine whether the man was D’s father.

However, in a judgment handed down on Thursday, Poole dismissed the bid, saying that he found the council had “no stake in the outcome”.

He told the court: “It may wish to know who is D’s biological father, but it has no stake in the outcome of its application.

“A wish to uphold the public interest in maintaining accurate records of births does not confer a personal interest in the determination of such an application.”

The judge concluded that the family may wish to undergo a paternity test to tell the child at a later date “but that is a matter for them”.

Throughout the case, the judge said that the family had “created a welfare minefield”, adding: “I cannot believe that JK, PQ and RS properly thought through the ramifications of their scheme for JK to become pregnant, otherwise it is unlikely that they would have embarked upon it.”

He continued that the boy “is a unique child who would not exist but for the unusual arrangements made for his conception, but those arrangements have also created the potential for him to suffer emotional harm were he to learn of them”.

Poole said the man had an established father-and-son relationship with the child and it was up to him and the boy’s mother to “manage the latent risks to his welfare”.

He added: “It must be acknowledged that the circumstances of D’s conception cannot now be undone.

“Without testing, his biological paternity remains uncertain but there is a strong chance, to say the least, that the person he thinks is his grandfather is his biological father, and that the person he thinks is his father is his biological half-brother.”

So the dad's dad is the son's dad and granddad?

He's either the dad OR the granddad.  If he is the dad then HIS father is the granddad.  The "dad" is either the dad or the half-brother.  

Just to be safe the kid needs to call them all "brah"

First time I was in the Conroe area, I met a dude who confided that he was donging his own daughter-in-law. Nothing coming out of Conroe has since  changed my initial impression.

Forgot to take any. I was there to visit my brother's girlfriend, not to talk to Daddy Inbreed.

I’m confused. So the kid is either the guys son of half brother, either way he’s raising the boy as his son. Why would anyone have an issue with that (assuming there is no fraud, abuse or neglect)?

There are many people in the country raising children that are not their own. Feels like a crucial fact was left out of this story…

Did they try to claim welfare or some other government assistance? Is there an inheritance issue or is the grandfather suing for custody? The story sounds like some nosey neighbor is just trying to satisfy their curiosity at the expense of the child/family for no real reason.

It's the UK innit. They don't have the sperm freedoms like we do. Plus they assume everybody's going on the dole (pronounced Doe-oo) and this will mess up Form QBX1234xy and the poor kid will starve like Marvin won't he.
