Regarding the system of "illegitimate presumption" that determines the father according to the time of pregnancy and childbirth, the Ministry of Justice Council's subcommittee said that if a child is remarried, even a child born within 300 days of divorce will be regarded as the child of the current husband. In response to the compilation of the interim draft, the Ministry of Justice will submit the necessary amendments to the law to the ordinary session of the Diet next year at the earliest.
The "illegitimate estimation" system stipulates that children born within 300 days of divorce should be regarded as children of their ex-husband, and it is pointed out that this is the main cause of the occurrence of people without a family register. On the 8th, the Parent-Child Legislation Subcommittee of the Legislative Council compiled an interim draft for a review of the Civil Code.
Among them, if the child is remarried, even a child born within 300 days of divorce is considered to be the child of the current husband, and the relationship between the father and the child can be resolved by "illegitimate estimation". The right to file a complaint about the procedure is extended to children.
On the other hand, whether the provision to consider the child of the current husband as a child of the current husband when remarried is applied to the case of bereavement of the previous husband, or support measures when an economically difficult child applies for illegitimate denial I will continue to discuss it.
A subcommittee of the Legislative Council will solicit opinions through public comments and compile a report, and the Ministry of Justice will submit the necessary amendments to the law to the ordinary session of the Diet next year at the earliest.
