A man who discovered that the son and daughter he raised into their teenage years were not his has been awarded £25,000 in damages after suing his ex-wife for deceit.
Richard Rodwell was a loving father to Adam and Laura until his marriage to their mother Helen broke down.
After the divorce he paid regular child maintenance for more than four years, from his salary as a factory manager.
But in 2008 Mr Rodwell ordered DNA tests after hearing rumours about his daughter’s paternity – and the results showed that each child was fathered by a different man.
Following the results, the children cut off all contact with him. He claims his ex-wife turned them against him.
