Family Act Article 67

Where a dispute exists with regard to the existence or non-existence in law of a parent-child relation or an adoptive relation and there is an immediate legal interest in acquiring a determination judgment, an action on the determination of the existence or non-existence of a parent-child relation or an adoptive relation may be initiated.Where, with regard to an action on the determination of the non-existence of a parent-child relation, the court has obtained conviction on the facts of being the natural father on the part of the plaintiff or the defendant, which will lead to a judgment dismissing the plaintiff’s suit, the court shall clarify the facts so that the parties may motion to change the claim into one on the determination of the existence of a parent-child relation.Prior to entering a judgment on a motion in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the court shall give the parties and the interested parties an opportunity to make a pleading through an oral argument or a statement with regard to facts relevant to the existence of a parent-child relation.Where an action of Paragraph 1 of this Article was initiated by more than two persons or against more than two persons in accordance with Article 39 of this Act, the court shall handle these matters jointly and enter a joint decision.
