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.
