Can you disown a child in Japan?

Question:


provided the mother has married someone and the child has a ''new father''

Answer:


There is basically no way to legally "end" the relationship between a parent and a child in Japan. Actually, your question is too short. You need to tell us more because much detail is required to answer this kind of question.

  1. Yeah I'm curious about this question too, even though this post is very old.

    Can you disown a child in one form or another if your child is say, a huge disgrace to the family, too disobedient, doesn't meet expectation? Probably no legal way to end that relationship, but I'm sure there are other methods right? Something involving child protection?

    Don't have kids, but in the future if I do, I want to use it as a threat to keep them in line for a successful future, rather than following their laissez-faire friends at school.
