Child support ordered despite test

A Toronto man must continue to pay child support despite a DNA test proving he is not the biological father of his ex-wife’s children, a judge ruled.

Pasqualino Cornelio, who believed he fathered the 16-year-old twins after being given “incomplete and misleading information” by his ex-wife, will also not be reimbursed for previous child support payments.

“While the failure of (Anciolina) Cornelio to disclose to her husband the fact that she had an extramarital affair and that the twins might not be his biological children may well have been a moral wrong against Mr. Cornelio, it is a wrong that does not afford him a legal remedy to recover child support he has already paid, and that does not permit him to stop paying child support,” Ontario Superior Court Justice Katherine van Rensburg wrote in her decision.

The mother claimed to have conveniently forgot that she had an affair!
