What is the way to solve the dispute between the father and the mother about the child’s first name?

If the parents cannot agree on the child's name or surname, this issue can be resolved in one of two ways:

1. The child welfare authority:

• Parents submit an application to the guardianship and custody authority.
• The guardianship and custody authority, taking into account the interests of the child, makes a decision on the assignment of a first or last name.

1. Court:

• One of the parents can file a lawsuit in court to resolve the dispute.
• The court makes a decision based on the best interests of the child.

Important:

The decision made by the guardianship and custody authority or the court is binding.
