Gwangju Legal Consultation Assistance | Won a Lawsuit for Confirmation of Non-Existence of a Parent-Child Relationship

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.

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.

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.

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.

A suit for confirmation of the non-existence of a parent-child relationship requires a thorough evidence-gathering process, and because the subsequent legal procedures call for prompt progress, the assistance of an experienced attorney is crucial.
