A 66-year-old man in Taoyuan, known as Ah Jian, who has a gambling addiction, married for 20 years with 3 daughters, has been relieved of his support obligation by the court, as he regularly gambles away his salary and even deceives family and friends for money. His daughters grew up under constant threats from creditors, and Ah Jian would often verbally abuse his wife in front of them. In a divorce proceeding, the court considered his abusive behavior and failure to fulfill support obligations and granted relief. He admitted his shortcomings and confessed his embarrassment for relying on his daughters' mother to support the family.
