The real estate businessman fighting a HK$5.5 billion claim for maintenance said yesterday his ex-wife tricked him into making her pregnant after he made it clear he had no desire for a child and wanted them to separate.
The man, who can only be identified by his initials LKKS, also told the Court of First Instance he had seen his daughter, who is now three years old, only twice and had no desire to see her again.
The court heard that the man's father had made it a requirement that LKKS produce a male heir before he could claim his father's estate.
The husband was giving evidence against his ex-wife, identified by the initials TCWF, who is claiming 55 per cent of his assets.
He said his wife tricked him because it was the woman's task to keep track of the 'pregnancy calendar' to avoid having a baby.
'She didn't tell me that it would be a [risky] time [to have sex],' the businessman said.
