Contesting parental affiliation after the person registered as the child’s father has died.
Share
Thus, paternity may be contested after the death of the person registered as the child's father under certain conditions.
If the person died before the child was born:
The deceased's heirs (e.g., spouse, parents, or children) can dispute paternity if the deceased made a notarized declaration of non-recognition of his or her paternity during his or her lifetime.
If the person died after filing a claim to contest paternity:
In the event of the death of a person who has filed a claim to exclude himself from the record as a father, the heirs of the deceased have the right to support this claim in court.
If the person did not know about the record of his or her paternity:
If a person was unaware of his or her paternity record for valid reasons and died, his or her heirs (spouse, parents, children) may challenge paternity.
Statute of limitations:
The statute of limitations does not apply to claims for the exclusion of a person's name as a father from a child's birth record.
Procedure:
The heirs apply to the court to contest paternity, providing the necessary evidence (e.g., DNA tests, notarized statements, etc.). The court makes a decision based on the submitted materials.
