US$100,000 payout for father who never was
Print Edition
A MAN who sued his ex-wife after finding out he was not the biological father of their 35-year-old son has been awarded 620,000 yuan (US$100,000) in compensation, the Hongkou District People’s Court said yesterday.
The plaintiff, surnamed Huang, filed a lawsuit against his former partner, Lan, and her ex-lover — the son’s actual father — after a paternity test revealed the truth.
According to the court, Huang, 65, married Lan in the 1970s and soon after she gave birth to a baby boy.
Huang unwittingly raised the child as his own, before finding out last year that he was not the biological father.
The court did not say what prompted Huang to do the paternity test, but after receiving the result, Lan confessed that the boy’s “real” father was her childhood sweetheart, a man surnamed Mei.
Huang divorced Lan soon after and filed the legal action.
The court ruled in his favor, saying Lan and Mei should reimburse the money Huang spent on raising the boy.
The compensation also included punitive damages due to Lan’s dishonesty.
