A DNA test in May of last year proved otherwise. That test was part of a lawsuit that the man had filed against the woman he had a relationship with years ago.
A child was also born during that period, in 2016. The man – born in 1989 – recognized her as his daughter. When the relationship ended, the woman was given sole custody of the girl. She has five other children from other relationships. The man has two children.
Alimony 150 euros per month
The man started the lawsuit because he wanted to annul his recognition as the girl’s father. In addition, he wanted to get rid of the alimony that he had to pay since October 2018 for the care and upbringing of the girl. That amounted to 150 euros a month. Finally, he demanded back the alimony he had already paid, totaling 4,244.69 euros.
The court in Utrecht only partly agrees with him. His name may be removed from the birth certificate. He has sufficiently demonstrated ‘that there was error and deception’, the court writes in the judgment.
The woman left him under the illusion for years that he was the father. While she had plenty of reasons to do the opposite. The man filed several lawsuits to be able to see his daughter and gain parental authority.
Money problems
In all those cases she ‘never mentioned’ that he might not have been the father. Only during the case about removing him as a father did she open up: because of money problems she had sex with other men ‘in exchange for money’.
The woman stated in the lawsuit that one of the men ‘crossed her boundaries’ and that she then became pregnant. Moreover: her daughter has blonde hair with blue eyes. That should be reason for her ex to doubt whether he was really the father, she said in court. The judgment does not mention what color hair and eyes the man has.
A lot of expense
“The court finds this unacceptable,” is stated in the judgment. Rather, it shows that the woman knew from the beginning that he was not the biological father. The fact that she only came up with the truth in this lawsuit is ‘reprehensible’. The man has incurred a lot of costs because of all the cases he has conducted.
That bill may increase slightly. The man will only be removed from the birth certificate when the judgment is final. And that is only the case once the three months have passed in which the parties can still appeal. Until then, the man is still legally her father and, according to an earlier ruling by a judge, obliged to pay alimony.
There is more setbacks. He will not get back the thousands of euros he transferred to his ex. Destroying his recognition as a father does not give him the right to reclaim the money. The man’s claim was rejected by the court.
