'A sperm donor has won parental rights over a lesbian birth mother's only child in a landmark case.
The ruling was handed down in June by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia which denied the mother's parental responsibility for the nine-year-old.
The court instead ruled in favour of her former partner and their sperm donor.
The custody battle has lasted for almost five years between the three adults, costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs, The Herald Sun reported.'
