A man has successfully disowned his twin daughters and proven himself ‘sexually free’ after his ex-wife became pregnant during a threesome.
The New Zealander won the lawsuit earlier this year, but documents from the strange case were only revealed by the Family Court this week.
The court heard the former couple separated about two years ago but were only officially divorced three months ago.
After their divorce, the man tried to remove his name from the twins’ birth certificate.
Their mother claimed he was trying to avoid child support obligations, while the man said he wanted to “defend his honor.”
They had previously adopted children together, but the man had had a vasectomy about 12 years before the girls, who are now teenagers, were born.
At the time of the twins’ conception, the ex-couple regularly had threesomes with another man, believed to be the twins’ biological father.
A New Zealand man was granted a non-paternity order after claiming the real father of his twins was a second man with whom he and his ex-wife had a threesome
Their mother told the court that their relationship with the second man was to help her become pregnant, which her ex-husband denied.
“Whether this was for pleasure or to conceive a child remains a point of contention, but the fact is that the parties had already made this arrangement at the time of conception,” Judge Traicee McKenzie said in her ruling. NZ Herald reports.
“Once the parties parted ways, relations soured and this application was filed.”
Despite not believing he was the father, the twins took the ex-husband’s surname and his name was listed on the birth certificate – which he tried to remove.
Their mother insisted her ex-husband was involved in the twins’ lives, taking them on vacation and buying them presents while the girls called him “Daddy.”
In his 2020 will, the man included the twins as discretionary beneficiaries and referred to them as “my children.”
However, the mother admitted that he was not a ‘hands-on’ father.
The man denied her claims, saying he had only been on holiday with the girls once and had cut off contact with them once the couple split.
Judge McKenzie found the twins also made no effort to pursue a relationship with him.
“I must take into account his rigid, consistent and unwavering views from the date of separation that he rejected any form of relationship with the girls or that the girls were his own biological children,” she said.
‘He has made it clear from the start that he does not want a relationship with them.
‘…There was no detailed evidence whatsoever of the nature of that relationship. No evidence of any expression of love or affection between them that would have been expected between a father and his daughter.
“They were children living in his house.”
The man was granted a non-paternity order and his name was removed from the twins’ birth certificates.
The man claimed he had no relationship with the twin girls, while his ex-wife said he was trying to avoid paying child support.
After the verdict, the man told the Herald that he had asked for the order to “defend his honor.”
“I’m not a family man,” he said.
He explained that the couple had been living an “unconventional” family life since 2018, living in a separate part of the house from his wife and the children.
He added that he did not actually participate in the threesome and mainly “just watched,” but was under the impression that his ex-wife and the other man were “safe” and using birth control.
“I don’t expect you or anyone else to understand, but I was happy with my life,” he said.
‘I have no sexual caution. I am sexually free.’
