1. The Client Who Requested a Gwangju Legal Consultation
The client who requested a Gwangju legal consultation had recently lost his wife, and while organizing documents, he learned that there was a person whom his wife had registered as a child with her former husband.
Upon looking into it, however, that person was not his wife's biological child either, so the client decided to correct the parent-child relationship and visited the Gwangju branch office to request a legal consultation.
The Circumstances of the Case Handled by the Gwangju Attorney
The client lost his wife, who had suffered from a chronic illness, and was afterward organizing documents related to his wife.
He later learned that a person he had never seen before was registered as a child on his wife's family relations certificate.
Upon inquiring through relatives, he learned that there was one person who had been registered as a child between his wife and her former husband, but that this child was not his wife's biological child either.
He then requested a consultation with a Gwangju attorney to obtain assistance in resolving the legal parent-child relationship before settling his wife's estate.
2. Confirmation of Non-Existence of a Parent-Child Relationship Explained in a Gwangju Legal Consultation
The client's lawsuit is a type of paternity confirmation suit, a legal procedure conducted to correct an erroneous parent-child relationship from the past, and the judgment may affect matters such as kinship and inheritance.
For this reason, lawsuits relating to 🔗non-existence of a biological parent-child relationship generally have strict requirements and procedures and require very careful review of the supporting materials, even though the legal issues themselves are not complex.
First, in order to pursue a lawsuit for non-existence of a biological parent-child relationship, it is important to secure the genetic test results, which serve as the most important evidentiary material.
Thereafter, it is important to present an appropriate argument through administrative documents that can support the legal validity regarding the biological parent-child relationship.
In this way, although the issues at trial for non-existence of a biological parent-child relationship tend to be clear, the preparation of evidentiary materials is complex and important, so receiving help from an attorney with relevant expertise can be very important.
3. The Gwangju Legal Consultation's Assistance to the Client
The attorney retained through the Gwangju legal consultation conducted a detailed interview with the client, then gathered relevant evidence and presented the pleadings.
Gwangju Attorney's Assistance 1: That the Child Was Born to the Former Husband
The defendant, currently registered as the wife's child, was the child born to the former husband, whose birth was registered together with the marriage registration when the wife was married to her former husband.
The Gwangju attorney argued that the defendant was not in fact the wife's biological child, and that the fact that the marriage registration and the birth registration were made together indirectly proves this.
Gwangju Attorney's Assistance 2: The Genetic Test Results
A genetic test conducted on the wife's older brother and the defendant produced a result indicating that no blood relationship through the same maternal line existed between the two persons.
In other words, the result indicated that, because the defendant did not carry the same maternal genes as the wife, he could not be regarded as a biological child.
Based on this result, the Gwangju attorney emphasized that no parent-child relationship existed.
Gwangju Attorney's Assistance 3: The Complete Absence of Family Life
Apart from the two years of married life with her former husband 50 years ago, the wife had never once met the defendant.
Afterward, having married the client and built a new family, her family life with her former husband had no influence up until she passed away.
The Gwangju attorney emphasized that, because the defendant's side was also presenting no argument on this point, there was no meaning in remaining family members on an administrative basis.
4. Result of the Gwangju Legal Consultation's Assistance
Accepting the argument of the Gwangju legal consultation attorney, the court rendered a judgment confirming that no biological parent-child relationship exists between the deceased and the defendant.
