Establishing the child’s family name in case family names of the mother and the father are different.

Share

Key Provisions:

1. The child's surname is determined by the surname of the parents.

2. If Parents Have Different Surnames:

  • The child's surname is chosen by mutual agreement between the mother and father.
  • Parents may choose a double surname for the child, which is formed by combining their surnames.

3. Resolving Disputes:

  • If the parents cannot agree on the child's surname, the dispute can be resolved by:
  • The guardianship and custodianship authority.
  • The court, if an agreement cannot be reached through the guardianship authority.

Note:

  • The formation of a double surname is regulated by current legislation, and the order of the surname parts (whether the mother's or father's surname comes first) is determined by the parents by mutual agreement.
