Questão jurídica principal
Whether the paternity disavowal action was time-barred under Art. 256c CC despite alleged justified reasons
Decisão extraída
The action was time-barred; the husband knew by October 2009 that he was not the father and could not rely on justified reasons to extend the one-year forfeiture period.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the relevant subjective reasons never changed materially: the wife's promises and the husband's hope of reconciliation did not justify suspending action for 14 months. He had counsel and knew the deadline. Even on the most favorable view, the action filed on 13 July 2011 was not brought with required promptness after the reasons ended.
