[Assistance by a Gunsan Family Law Attorney] Favorable Judgment in a Marriage Annulment Suit With the Assistance of a Gunsan Family Law Attorney

The client who requested assistance from a Gunsan family law attorney had registered the marriage hastily about a year earlier, after learning of the pregnancy from his current wife.

Later, while caring for his hospitalized wife after the child was born, he received shocking news from a nurse.

The news was that the child's blood type could not result from the wife and the client.

The nurse said the child might have a mutant blood type and recommended visiting a university hospital, so the client visited a university hospital and had the child's blood type tested.

However, on the doctor's statement that the child did not have a mutant blood type and that it would be advisable to conduct a paternity test, the client proceeded with a paternity test as well.

When the test results showed a genetic mismatch between the client and the child, he confronted his wife, but she claimed that she had never had an affair.

The client then decided to file a marriage annulment suit and came to the Gunsan family law attorney of Daeryun Law Firm to request assistance.

Marriage Annulment Suit

A marriage may be petitioned for annulment before the court if it falls under any one of the following

- Civil Act, Article 816

▶ Where a party has not reached the marriageable age (18 years)

▶ Where a minor or a person under adult guardianship marries without the consent of a parent, a guardian of the minor, or an adult guardian

(In this case, annulment may not be petitioned after the party reaches 19 years of age, after a ruling terminating the adult guardianship, after 3 months have passed, or if the party becomes pregnant during the marriage)

▶ Where a party marries the spouse of a blood relative within the sixth degree, a blood relative within the sixth degree of a spouse, a relative by marriage who is the spouse of a blood relative within the fourth degree of a spouse, or a person who was such a relative by marriage

▶ Where a party marries a person who was a blood relative within the sixth degree of an adoptive parent's line or a person who was a relative by marriage within the fourth degree of an adoptive parent's line

The Gunsan family law attorney argued that the defendant had become pregnant by another man and then deceived the plaintiff by claiming the pregnancy resulted from intercourse with the plaintiff, that the plaintiff had married hastily as a result, and that this constituted a ground for marriage annulment.

The Gunsan family law attorney submitted the test results as evidence.

The attorney argued that the plaintiff had undergone paternity testing on two occasions, and that both test results showed that no parent-child relationship existed between the plaintiff and the child.

This matter was a case in which the client, after learning that the child was not biologically his following the marriage, filed a suit for marriage annulment.
