1Opinion of the CourtMills, J.
In a judgment of divorce dated August 27, 2009, a judge of the Probate and Family Court ordered Chukwudera B. Okoli (husband) to pay child support for the twin minor children of his marriage to Blessing N. Okoli (wife). The twins, bom May 12, 2003, were conceived through in vitro fertilization (PVF) using donor sperm and donor eggs, and the probate judge ruled that the husband was the legal father of the children because he consented to the artificial insemination of his wife.1 On appeal, he challenges the order for support and its amount. We affirm.
