That's good news. She should, after all. LUXHAIR profits will help.

@ValuSkr- I agree - you shouldn't make a decison to have a surrogate carry a baby for you lightly - that poor surrogate was stuck with all the bills and having to go to court to put Sherri's name on the baby certificate instead of hers - I bet that woman will never carry another child for another family! Sherri's an idiot and this makes her look really bad.

Has Sherri ever spoken on the subject-- and I mean the whole subject-- not just pieces of "she wants nothing to do with the baby." Because if she truly "wants nothing to do with the baby" there are factors involved that we probably don't know about.

Perhaps now that the court decision has been made she may be free to speak more about it.

zita...... this woman is a comic/actress who keeps her private business in the public eye.... she was a co-host on the tv show the view.... when i saw her she was so over-sharing.... she talked about several abortions, she went on and on about her relationship with her ex, the father of her son Jeffrey.... and when she was married to Lamar she talked about their bedroom experiences "ad nauseum".... her wedding plans were the topic of conversation on that show almost daily....

I do have mixed feelings about this, I haven't read the details myself, i'm taking this news at face value. Since the child is not hers biologically and since she and the father were not together when the child was born, I don't know how that makes her the mother. I do not get that. I suspect that her money heavily influenced the judge's decision. She can afford to pay child support, so she should. I wonder if she will appeal. I wonder if she can be forced to put her name on the birth certificate. She certainly cannot be forced to have a relationship with the child and since this thing started out so badly, I wonder if she will be able to put the child's best interests over her own. On the other hand, I'm not sure it's in the child's best interest fo have contact with a "mother" who doen't want to be his or her mother. The big winner here is the ex husband. He is the baby's daddy; he gets a child and Sherri has to feed/clothe/house/financially support him and his child until the child is 25, if it's like my state, where a parent has to pay child support until the "child" is 25 if the "child" is a full time student. I almost forgot college; that bill will be on Sherri's tab too.

I read that child support is a little over $4000 a month.

The court did the right thing, but it is too bad it had to go to court in the first place. This is so sad and heartbreaking.
My thoughts exactly @Carmie. She may be required to pay, but she isn't required to have a relationship with the child, which is a shame. Hopefully, the baby gets all the love and good upbringing they need from Lamar Sally and whomever he ends up with. It really stinks, IMO. Shepherd made the choice. It's neither the surrogate's fault or the baby's fault that Shepherd and Sally were having marital problems and stupidly thought a baby would solve them. I've lost all respect for Sheri Shepherd, for thinking she could just get out of the arrangement as if she were returning something to Wal-mart after changing her mind. A shame indeed.
I'm not sure Sherri is the bad guy here ....... I think Lamar saw Sherri as a meal ticket from Day One. Having a baby with her and asking for custody is how he assures a continuous cash flow for years to come ..... but she didn't realize his motivation until it was too late. (IMO)

Sherri Shepherd is no dummy. She is educated, was on The View for many years, hasn't lived a cloistered existence, knows whats it's like to be "had" by a man who wasn't what she thought he was, and now owns a company. You don't do all that and then claim ignorance. Her name is on the birth certificate. That makes her the "mother". If Sally dies, God forbid, the child would likely go to her (perish the thought). What Sherri Shepherd tried to do, even though legally, is no better than a deadbeat dad who knocks someone up and then dumps her or the other kind of deadbeat dad who acknowledges that he's the father, but is never on time with child support yet has the nice car and toys for himself.

Not much, considering what she must be worth. However, that's just child support. I'm sure her ex will ge spousal support on top of that.

I find her very unpleasant

That's absolutely not a shame. The last thing a child needs in his or her life is to spend time with a person who is being forced to do so. That brings resentment. You can't be forced to love a child and if you don't love a child, you shouldn't be involved in the child's life. If she pays support and comes to know and love that child, that would be great. But love cannot be forced with a court order.
