Question 3: Legitimated Children - Action to Impugn Legitimacy

Patrick and Sarah were married in 2005 in a civil ceremony. Six years into their marriage, Patrick filed a petition to adopt a child, Ethan, who was abandoned by his biological parents. The adoption was granted, and Ethan became the legitimate child of Patrick and Sarah.

In 2021, Patrick discovered a document suggesting that Sarah had an affair around the time Ethan was conceived. He immediately consulted with a lawyer to explore his options in challenging Ethan's legitimacy.

Discuss Patrick's legal standing and the provisions under the Family Code, particularly Article 182, that govern the action to impugn legitimacy of a child. Cite relevant laws and analyze the requirements and effects of such an action.
