After 23 years of no contact post-divorce, a 60-year-old man in Tainan demanded 21,704 NT dollars per month as alimony for his two sons, based on the city's 2022 average monthly consumption. The man, who has no job, welfare support, or assets, was denied his claim by the judge as he had not contacted his sons at all since the divorce, failing to fulfill his obligation. The judge ruled that despite being the father, his failure to support his sons without justifiable reasons led to the rejection of his request. The sons protested the alimony, citing their father's lack of contact and support as reasons for exemption. They refused to provide alimony and requested to be relieved of the responsibility. The judge concluded that while the sons have a legal duty to support their father, the father had failed to fulfill his obligations without valid reasons.
