1. Case Overview

The client had given birth to a child, but because the other party (the biological father) did not acknowledge the biological relationship, it was necessary to legally establish the father-child relationship. Consequently, the client filed a Petition for Affiliation (Recognition of Paternity) with the Family Court, and Law Firm THEO acted as the legal representative to handle the case.

2. Key Issues of the Case

The central issue of this case was objectively proving the relationship and the underlying facts between the parties. In particular, DNA testing results served as critical evidence to clarify the existence of a biological relationship. The process of organizing the facts centered around these results and submitting them to the court was of vital importance.

3. Legal Assistance Provided

Law Firm THEO systematically organized the facts—including the circumstances of the parties' relationship, the details of the birth, and the childcare situation—and secured relevant evidence to present to the court. Furthermore, we actively litigated the case by logically asserting the establishment of a biological relationship based on objective data, such as the DNA test results, to ensure the protection of the client’s rights.

4. Outcome of Assistance

Based on a comprehensive review of the submitted evidence and the DNA test results, the court rendered a judgment recognizing the child as the biological child of the respondent. Through this, the client was able to clearly confirm the child's legal status and establish a crucial foundation for future matters regarding parental rights, custody, and the formalization of family relations.
