Mon 06 Jun 2010Access for father ordered in case of lesbian mother
McD -v- L Anor Neutral citation: (2010) IEHC 120. High Court Judgment was given by Mr Justice John Hedigan on April 21st, 2010.
The biological father of a child born to a lesbian couple should be permitted direct access to the child, in the presence of an independent third party, and should have regular contact through e-mail, gifts and, eventually, Skype. His true relationship with the child should not be revealed by him, but by the women, at a time they consider to be appropriate, and he should not play a parenting role.
