Chen Hsing-yu and Chao Chien-ming divorce and asset dispute

Overview

The divorce between Chen Hsing-yu and orthopedic surgeon Chao Chien-ming has escalated into a multifaceted dispute involving property, professional conduct, and child welfare. Chen confirmed the split following a series of one-star Google reviews she left for Chao’s clinic, alleging medical incompetence and personal misconduct. She also revealed a significant financial disparity regarding a clinic property she gifted to Chao valued at 60 million TWD, for which she remains responsible for the mortgage.

Controversy intensified when Chen identified a social media account named ‘Jimmy’—used to criticize her and the Chen family—as belonging to Chao. She further alleged that Chao maintained multiple romantic interests during their 25-year marriage. Chao has since admitted to having feelings for a nurse named Hsu Chien-chien.

The dispute has recently centered on a 23 million TWD education fund for their three sons. Chen and her brother, Chen Chih-chung, have accused Chao of harassing their children through continuous phone calls to pressure them into agreeing to the redemption of stocks and funds. Chen alleges that Chao maintains exclusive control over account passwords and transaction details, preventing the children from verifying balances. Furthermore, Chen expressed frustration that current automated transfer settings only allow funds to be moved to Chao’s personal account rather than the children’s bank accounts in the United States.

In a significant development, former President Chen Shui-bian issued a public apology to his daughter, admitting he misjudged Chao’s character. He confessed to a critical error: at Chao’s request, he allowed a clause to be removed from the divorce agreement that would have ensured the return of the 23 million TWD education and employment fund, making its recovery difficult.
