She says that her estranged husband defrauded her into having the child in the first place so he could get child support. However, Shepherd believes that egg does not belong to her and wants nothing to do with the unborn child and will ask a judge to rule she has no parental rights or responsibilities. According to TMZ she is also filing for divorce in New Jersey, which does not recognize surrogate contracts.
