Mistake of DNA leads man to assume daughter that wasn't yours. Woman split up

Uin Spain, he saw his life change dramatically following a DNA test that led him to believe that he was the father of a young woman he had never known. The result even ended your marriage.

It all happened in 2019, today tells The Voice of Galicia, when the man voluntarily agreed to submit a DNA test, to make sure he was the father of a girl.

The man resorted to a clinic that guaranteed 99.9% veracity in his tests, for the value of 250 euros.

The test confirmed that the man was the biological father of the child, having acted in accordance with his obligations: he contacted the girl and her mother and communicated the truth to her wife. He also began to pay the expenses he was charged as a father of the child.

Man’s companion put an end to the relationship after knowing the truth.

However, a month later, the clinic contacted the man to inform him that there had been a mistake and that the results that had been provided to him were not his.

The clinic issued another report that ruled out paternity and indicated incompatibilities between the genetic profiles analyzed. Faced with the contradiction between both results, the man went to the Forensic Genetics Service to undergo new tests, which would also confirm that there was no relationship between the samples analyzed.

The man went ahead with a lawsuit against the clinic, which required the payment of compensation of 20,000 euros. However, the court decided that it should receive compensation of only EUR 3,000 for moral damage, taking into account that the clinic reversed its error in just over a month.

Note that the problem was discovered after another person who had also undergone a paternity test did not agree with the result and decided to perform a counter test. The new verification showed that the samples had been changed.

Since then, the man has been able to resume his previous relationship with someone who had a son.
