1. Case Overview

The client had a child while dating a Korean man, only to later discover that he was already married. Fearing the disclosure of the birth, the opposing party urged an abortion during the pregnancy, provided money, and severed all contact, completely denying any legal responsibility for the child. Consequently, the client proceeded with a claim for the confirmation of paternity and acknowledgment to protect the child's legal rights.

2. Unique Aspects of the Case

The greatest difficulty in this case was the lack of sufficient objective evidence while the opposing party vehemently denied the biological relationship. Furthermore, a considerable amount of time had passed since the child's birth, and securing relevant materials was challenging due to the opponent's denials. It was a case where recognizing paternity through mere allegations was extremely difficult. Therefore, securing additional evidence to prove the facts within limited materials was the core task.

3. Attorney Assistance

Determining that the probability of winning with existing materials was low, Law Firm Theo provided detailed guidance to the client on securing additional evidence from the beginning of the case. Through this, materials proving the relationship history, pregnancy and childbirth process, and the opposing party's awareness and attitude were systematically collected. Based on the secured evidence, we logically organized and submitted to the court that a biological relationship existed between the child and the opposing party. Additionally, we directly supported the acknowledgment registration process post-ruling to ensure a smooth correction of the family relations register.

4. Result of Assistance

The court accepted the evidence and arguments submitted by Law Firm Theo and delivered a ruling acknowledging the biological relationship between the child and the opposing party. Subsequently, based on the ruling, the acknowledgment registration was successfully processed, and the correction of the family relations register was completed, allowing the child to legally confirm their biological father. Law Firm Theo did not simply stop at obtaining a favorable ruling but fully realized the rights of the client and the child by completing the actual correction of the family registry.
