[quote=MJ1985,480369]In China, it is a tradition that kids follow his/her dad’s surname. As time goes by, this tradition hasn’t been observed by young Chinese couple.

In Shanghai, a husband divorced his wife divorced just because his son wasn’t named after him. According to the husband, he and his wife was introduced to each other in August, 2008. Then they fell into love. Two months later, his wife was pregnant. As a result, they got married in January, 2009 and their son was born in July, 2009. Before his son was born, he and his wife agreed that their first kid would be named after him. However, his father-in-law forced him to name the kid after his wife. Then, a conflict occurred between them.

Since the end of December in 2009, he and his wife have been living separately. This May, his wife filed divorce to the court. She claimed that her husband had left home for a while and never taken care of his son. What’s more, they hadn’t had sex since he left home. Thus, she appealed to divorce.

In July, 2012, he required to do paternity test to see if he is his son’s biological father. The result told him he is the biological father. His wife was heartbroken because her husband doubted he wasn’t the father of their son. Then she insisted on divorce. The court finally decided that they two could divorce.

“Who should kids be named after” is the most important thing for a couple? Don’t they realize their son will be suffering if they divorce?
