A member asked:

Is artificial insemination a solution for me if divorcing?

Dr. Deborah Smith answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Uncertain: If you are talking about using a sperm donor--- then in most states until you are officially divorced your husband will be considered the father of the child. Most rei clinics will not use donor sperm in this case without your soon to be ex-husband's permission or until the divorce is final.
