Shepherd appealing parenting and support decision

North Carolina fans of "The View" may be familiar with the child support issues facing 48-year-old Sherri Shepherd, a former host of the television program. She went to court to challenge her responsibility for her child born through surrogacy, and the Pennsylvania Superior Court deemed her contract and child support obligations to be valid. The child in question is her 1-year-old son with Lamar Sally, her former husband. The couple entered into a surrogacy contract, which Shepherd later attempted to cancel as marital issues became problematic. However, the pregnancy was advanced at that point. Reports indicate that Shepherd paid approximately $100,000 to coordinate the surrogate pregnancy prior to the marriage falling apart.
