It has to have a finishing point This can get ridiculous.
So you bank sperm, die, and after you are dead the banked sperm supplies some DNA to a test-tube kid.
Sue the estate of the "dead-beat"?
At what point does being a sperm donor stop meaning you are liable for supporting the resulting human life?
I read of a man who got a blow-job from his ex-lover. She put his ejaculate into a baster and impregnated herself. Whether or not this is an urban myth, the story goes that he was liable, and had to pay support.
Personally, I think that if your circumstances change you should be allowed to adjust your court-ordered payments without being penalized for having a change in your life circumstances (you want to become a social worker and leave that soul-destroying job in high finance, but the courts say you need to keep up your 4 grand a week support payments for Junior's European vacations). You want to pay, but only according to your current needs/circumstances. You are not a dead-beat, but a person who goes through life with changes happening. Which is what life is all about, really.
