According to the verdict, Xiao Li claimed that the couple had two children following getting married. The defendant went to the United States to study for a doctorate in July 1977. When he returned to China following completing his studies, his eldest son was already in elementary school. After that, A Ming lived in Hsinchu, and only occasionally went to school on weekends. When I returned home, I never participated in my children’s school activities. The children grew up in a single-parent family, and I might only shoulder the responsibility. Mother and father were both physically and mentally exhausted.

Xiaoli complained that the defendant left Taiwan and settled in the mainland in 1990, and moved his household registration to Kinmen on November 26, 1990. The two had been separated for more than 20 years. They were named husband and wife but not in reality. The eldest son was born on April 26, 2011. After Japan’s accidental death, A Ming even missed the farewell ceremony for his eldest son. After returning to Taiwan in October 2011, all he cared regarding was the distribution of his son’s inheritance.

The younger son testified, “My father has been living in Xiamen or Kinmen since regarding 1990 and no longer lives with us. At that time, my mother told me that I might not contact my father. From elementary school to college, I In my impression, he may have come back to see us once or twice. I can count it on one finger.” He didn’t come back until the inheritance.”

The Taipei District Court considered that the defendant had not lived with the plaintiff since 1990, and there had been no positive contact between the two for a long time. It can be considered that the two were in the name of husband and wife but not in reality. This and the husband and wife should be together. The essence of life, sharing joys and sorrows, and creating a happy family life is inconsistent with the essence of the defendant. The defendant did not appear on the oral argument date, did not file any pleadings, made any statements or statements, and subjectively had no intention to continue to maintain the marriage. The divorce was granted.
