Should Britnnney Griner have to pay child support upon her annulment?

http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2015/06/05/brittney-griner-glory-johnson-annulment-divorce-marriage-wnba

(TMZ, I know)

Anyway when a person is married any children born during that union is presumed to be the child of their parents.

Glory Johnson-Griner got pregnant during their marriage so in the event of an annulment or divorce Mrs. Griner would pay child support assuming she is not the custodial parent.

A father could always request a DNA test, and I would expect they would if in a similar situation.

For this I think it would come down to if she's on the birth certificate. I've only read a little about them, but it sounds like it may be better they're not together.

If she consented to the pregnancy then she should take care of her baby.

If they both planned the pregnancy and consented to it, she should pay.

If her wife got pregnant without her knowledge, I dont think she should be liable.

but it seems like if they decided together to have a baby, then she should have the same legal requirements as a bio father.

The baby announcement is a weird twist and could make a big legal mess.
