彰化50歲男子長年吸毒、竊盜、搶奪機車,即使有了家庭跟小孩,出獄後照樣作奸犯科,一半人生幾乎都在鐵牢度過,從未盡過一天父職。直到去年,男子因車禍癱瘓、生活無法自理,被安置於護理之家,竟要求兒子負擔扶養及醫療費用,遭拒後雙方對簿公堂。法官審理認為,男子長期未盡扶養義務,對未曾獲得父愛的兒子不公平,裁定免除兒子對父親的扶養義務。
判決書指出,該名男子於2004年結婚,但婚後仍因吸毒與多起刑案頻繁進出監獄。從2006年至2024年間,他多次因違反毒品危害防制條例、竊盜及妨害自由等罪入監或接受勒戒;其中2012年至2021年間更連續服刑長達9年多,2022年再度入獄至2024年才出獄。在孩子成長的黃金時期,父親的角色幾乎完全空白,兒子對父親甚至「毫無印象」。

2025年間,男子因車禍重傷暈倒失能,被安置於護理之家。由於他名下無財產與收入,彰化縣政府社會處通知已成年的兒子負擔安置照顧費用,兒子這才得知生父近況。兒子認為父親從未履行父職,彼此毫無情感基礎,如今要他承擔扶養責任顯失公平,因而向法院聲請免除扶養義務。
彰化地院審理,兒子母親到庭證稱,她懷孕沒多久男子就去關,孩子出生後因經濟困難,一度把兒子送到中國給外婆照顧,期間男子短暫出獄,卻又馬上吸毒入獄,最終兩人於2010年離婚。她痛訴,兒子從出生到成年,男子從未給過一毛扶養費,父子僅在離婚前見過幾次面,兒子全由她獨力撫養長大。
彰化地院調閱紀錄,證實男子有10多年時間在監執行,未曾提供生活費或陪伴照顧。法官審酌,男子雖無財產、年金收入、確實有受扶養需求,但依據民法第1118條之1規定,扶養義務已由「絕對義務」改為「相對義務」。父親無正當理由長期未盡扶養責任且情節重大,若強令未獲父愛的兒子負擔扶養義務,顯強人所難且極不公平,因此裁定准許免除兒子的扶養義務。全案仍可抗告。

A teacher surnamed Zeng in Nantou hoped to adopt her neighbor's 14-year-old son in order to obtain the qualification to rent an Aboriginal reserve and solve the problem of dying in his old age.

Therefore, it rejected the adoption claim in accordance with the provisions of the civil law, emphasizing that the adoption must comply with age and kinship restrictions, and the establishment of a true parent-child relationship should be the core.
