A Pennsylvania judge ruled that Sherri Shepherd is still obligated to pay her ex-husband Lamar Sally child support for a child the couple had via a surrogate. L.J. was born in August 2014, and Shepherd has been battling the courts since his birth over the fact that she didnโt feel obligated to pay her ex support.

On Monday theย Pennsylvania Supreme Court declined to hear Shepherdโs appeal after a lower court determined that she was the childโs legal mother and ordered her to pay child support in November. The baby was born using Sallyโs sperm and a donorโs egg. Shepherd had contended that her and Sallyโs marriage was a fraud and thus she shouldnโt be held responsible for the baby.
In November, when Shepherd lost her first appeal, Sally expressed his happiness.
โIโm glad itโs finally over,โย Sally told People magazine. โIโm glad the judges saw through all the lies that she put out there, and the negative media attention. If she wonโt be there for L.J. emotionally, Iโll be parent enough for the both of us.โย
Shepherd is now obligated to continue her payment of $4,100 a month to Sally.
