Taiwan man takes DNA test after divorce & finds out 'son' not his, relatives had said boy didn't look like him
His ex-wife admitted that the boy was not his biological son.
In Pingtung county, southern Taiwan, a man recently found out his son was not biologically his after relatives suggested they did not look alike. He had been married to his now ex-wife since November 11, 2015, and together they had a child during their marriage. The couple divorced on July 4, 2024, after nearly nine years of marriage.
Concerned by the resemblance, the man decided to take his ex-wife to court to challenge his legal status as the boy's father. The DNA test conducted at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital proved conclusively that he was not the biological father of the child, as their DNA did not match at seven critical genetic markers. Consequently, he filed a lawsuit with the Pingtung District Court to establish legally that the child was not his offspring.
During the legal proceedings, his ex-wife neither disputed the DNA test results nor identified the true biological father. Despite this, the court ruled in favor of the man and ordered his ex-wife and the child to cover the associated legal expenses.
