Do I have to answer the phone for my babies "sperm donor"?

Do I have to answer the phone whenever my kids "dad" calls me...I have told him only to call at certain times and he calls at 6 in the mornings sometimes...then I asked him to call my home phone and he will waste my mins on my cell just so he can talk about his new girlfriend...Do i really have to answer his calls? He doesnt pay child support...or is even in the kids life..he lives in texas and i live in alaska.

Answer:
If he doesn't want to pay or even be involved with the kid, then no. I wouldn't even bother. It sounds like all he is doing is trying to make you jealous of this other woman, and he can't seem to get straight when and what number to call, so don't bother with him. When he calls at inappropriate times and calls your cell, don't answer. If he calls the house at an appropriate time and starts talking about anything that doesn't apply to your child, tell him you aren't interesting, that it's not about the child and that you are going to let him go. Then hang up on him. He'll get the point and either take more of an interest in his kids, or stop calling.
it is your choice to answer or not.
not at all

Hope this helped

No
No you shouldnt and what you need to do is get that childsupport maybe you dont need it but it will send a clear message to him... He is just trying to make you feel bad I would do the same back!
No you don't have to answer the phone.
Quite simply... No, unless he has joint custody then the court may order you to accomodate reasonable communications with the kids, but if he's not paying support he'll not get anything he askes for in court.

Don't answer the phone...
Nope.
Unless there is a custody order in effect through the court system no you do not have to answer him. I am wondering though, why haven't you done something to get child support in order. Your children deserved to be taken care of by their father. You definately do not have to be harrassed by calls at unreasonable times or for unnecessary things. Try to arrange certain times and if your children are old enough let them answer the phone.
I would not be wasting my emotional energy by accepting his calls. Stop answering the phone when he calls & block his number. If he is not supporting those kiddos, emotionally or financially, he really can't be called a "dad". You need a break from his immaturity so you can focus on what's really important--those kids. Good luck & God bless.
it completely depends on you if you want to answer is calls or no..
Well if hes calling you to talk about his new girl friend then I don’t think its atall important to answer his calls, but is that hes trying to see your reaction by talking about his new girl friend, but if hes talking as a father of the child I think yes….. Because it might be u don’t need him but there some else u need to think of now (i am talking about your baby )..
No. In fact, if you obtained his sperm from a sperm bank he should have signed a legal contract telling him that he has no rights to the kids. On the flip side, the law cannot make him pay child support. That's just if you obtained it from a regular FDA regulated sperm bank.
If there is no court order child support OR where he gets visitation you DO NOT HAVE TO! Until he is paying child support and SEEING his children there is no reason for him to call. My friend was going thu this with her baby's father when he was not paying support but because there was a order for visitation she had to deal with it...Make sure when/IF there is a court order and child support made up make sure there is the stipulation that if he is NOT paying he is NOT seeing the child(ren). It will make it MUCH easier on you in the long run.
No you don't have to answer his calls, no one can make you pick the phone up! But at the end of the day, no matter how much of a loser he may be, his is the father of your children and they have a right to have him in their lives. If the sperm donor wants to call to ask about, and talk to, his kids thats fine, but anything else should be off limits, and if he is so interested in his kids then perhaps he should be getting a conscience and financially contributing to their upbringing. At the end of the day you do whatever you want - make whatever decision you can live with.
C'mon! Are you kiddin' ? YOU set the rules of engagement - not him. Whenever he calls during undesirable hours, just let the answering machine get it. Soon, he'll get the message. He needs to get a visit from D. West from the Maury Show.
he doesn't pay child support...don't answer his calls. Go after him and make him pay child support.
HECK NO!!
if he is calling to talk to the kids yes, you should answer. Put the kids on, you dont have to talk to him, unless its important about the kids. As for your cell phone, no you shouldn't have to answer, at any time for any reason except emergency's
I am unfortunatley in the same place...I have 2 kids with a dead beat that lives in the same town as me with my ex best friend...he also calls at least 2 times a week at 7 am to wake me and my kids up to talk crap about his new girlfriend...I always answer because I dont want him to be able to use it againist me later on down the line that I avoided his phone calls but as soon as he starts in about her I hang up...even though he still dont get the picture..lol...good luck
You don't have to answer his calls. If u ignore his calls, he might actually consider the fact that you apparently don't appreciate him calling that often. If he continues to call after you have done this, block his phone number. If he doesn't bother to pay child support, he has no business calling you because he apparently doesn't care about his kids.
weather you like it or not hes still the father of your children, i dont think you should have to put up with his crap but at the same time you shouldnt push him out of your childrens live let him do that by himself
change ur # both of them and just dont tell thim ur #s
no
