INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An eastern Indiana man who divorced his wife must pay child support for their son and daughter even though the children were conceived by artificial insemination using sperm donated by another man, the state appeals court has ruled.

The Indiana Court of Appeals on Tuesday rejected the Delaware County man’s argument that he shouldn’t have to pay child support because the children were not his biological offspring.
