1. Case Overview
The clients were registered as the children of an already deceased woman on the family relations register, although their actual biological mother was a different person. This caused a critical discrepancy between the family relations register and their actual blood relations, prompting the clients to file a lawsuit to accurately confirm their parent-child relationship and correct the register.

This case required correcting a family relations register that had been erroneously recorded for a long period. Proving the factual relationship was particularly difficult because the mother listed on the register was already deceased. Furthermore, it was a complex matter that required careful legal examination of the statute of limitations for filing lawsuits regarding the confirmation of the non-existence and existence of a biological parent-child relationship.

We secured objective evidence, including DNA test results, to clearly prove the actual blood relationship. In addition, we effectively resolved issues related to the statute of limitations by detailing the circumstances under which the clients belatedly discovered the truth and justifying the timing of the lawsuit.

The court confirmed the non-existence of a biological parent-child relationship between the clients and the mother listed on the family relations register, and delivered a ruling acknowledging the biological parent-child relationship with their actual mother. Through this, the clients were able to correct the flawed family relations register and restore the foundation of their rightful kinship and inheritance rights. This is a successful case of reclaiming substantive rights through professional legal response in a complex family registry correction and biological paternity confirmation dispute.
