I am separated from my husband during last 3 yrs and divorce case is running during last 1 yr. My husband made the divorce petition.
In the mean time,nearly 1 mnth ago i came to know that my husband has made a child by IVF with his own sperm, i dont know who is the egg donor. I asked him about this,he admitted tht he has done this and told me tht, as i am separated i hav no right to ask him about this. He has done this without my consent and acknowledgement. Can i take any legal step?

The act amounts to great mental cruelty which made him responsible for his rash actions.
Get your pleading of the divorce suit amended to incorporate this fact which would bolster your defence agaisnt his plea for divorce.

It could also be that at the root of your marital discord is that your husband longs deep for an off-spring and, for reasons best known to yourself, you are unable fulfil his longing. Please note that the strongest urge in any ordinary human being is to perpetuate the race.
Anyhow, this incident is of much novelty as to marital discord and it could be of much interest whether courts would take the view that this amounts to marital cruelty.
