Can men claim infertility costs during divorce?
Question by : Can men claim infertility costs during divorce?
My uncle was married for 21 years with a wife who refused to have children. They are now divorcing and he wants to have a child at 47 before he gets too old. His wife trying to rape him of every penny he owns and get spousal support. Can he present anything to a court to allow him extra funds to regain fertility. He had a vasectomy done 20 years ago to satisfy his soon-to-be-ex-wife.
The word “rape” was not used so unstragetically. He has offered everything he owns but she still wants more. Rape was used very appropriately but thanks for your ignorance

Nope. If he didn’t want a vasectomy, he shouldn’t have had one.

They had some kind of agreement while married with regards to having kids. I take offense you would use the word “rape” so easily. She was married to him for 21 years. Because as such, she is entitled to a certain amount during a divorce.
I am not sure what the laws are, especially where you are at, but he made this decision. I don’t see how his decision to have a vasectomy is something she should have to pay for.
Edit- Well, I think it is still strong word to describe he wanting more rather than SEIZING more. She isn’t going around and plundering and seizing the belongings. She is going to court and having it all done LEGALLY!
Nope he cannot. He chose to get a vasectomy even if it was to satisfy his wife it was still his choice. Also there is a very high chance that he won’t be able to successively reverse his vasectomy.
Sorry,but a vasectomy is considered elective surgery. If he didn’t want one he shouldn’t have put his nuts on the chopping block.
Besides,it’s not like they can make him fertile again. Despite what you may have seen on a billboard, a vasectomy done that long ago is forever. Different technique back then. They really made sure there wasn’t going to be an accident by removing a section long enough to ensure it couldn’t ever be reattached.
Nope
He had the vasectomy voluntarily.
I did not want children. I had a vasectomy. My wife did not agree. About six years later she left. No harm done. No money was awarded.
He is not having children. Nuff said.
