The patronymic

 

Before January 1st, 2005, the child obligatorily bore the name of the father. Any mention with the patronymic is removed. "Patro", in Latin means "Father", that refers in the name of the father. The word "patronymic" is replaced by "family name".

For a natural child (born except marriage), if only one of the parents is known, it takes the name of this person. However, if it is about the mother and that this one is married with a third, this last can give its name to the child. The agreement of this last is necessary if it has more
13 years.

If the two parents are known, it takes the name of the father. If the father ignores the child, a name change can always be required of the judge of the family businesses.

In the event of dissension between the parents or fault of joint statement, the child will take the name of the father.

In the case of a child found or given up, the officer of registry office allots several first names to the child, the last holding place of patronymic.

The late recognition of a child involves the change of his name while a denial of paternity deprives it of the name of the father. When a couple Marie by having already common children, the children who bore the name of the mother must from now on take that of the father.
If the mother is unmarried and that the future dad is already married, it can nevertheless recognize the child. The act of recognition will have to be approved by the County court. His official wife will be informed of this paternity and, without being able to it to be opposed, it will be able nevertheless to refuse that the child bears the name of her husband.

If the mother is unmarried and that the dad of the future baby does not want to recognize it, it can oblige there by bringing a project research of paternity. Once established paternity, the child will have rights and obligations with respect to his/her father, and conversely. But, it is impossible to oblige the father to give his name to his child.

If the mother is married, the law considers that the husband is the father of the child. It will thus bear the name of the father to his birth.


From now on, the moms can also give their name

To transmit its name represents a form of pride, but is also to dedicate a “social identity” to your child. Before January 1st, 2005, the child bore obligatorily the name of the father if the parents were married or lived in cohabitation, or of the mother if the father were unknown. Difficult for the parents of a family made up exclusively of girls to see their line dying out. Since the law of March 4th, 2002, the transmission of the name of the mom is not dependant any more on the not-recognition of the father or the not-knowledge of this one. Today, the identity on the mother’s side can .

 

The child can bear the name of the father, the mother or both

Since January 1st, 2005, married, civil partners or boyfriends, your child can bear “either the name of the father, or the name of the mother”. If you would not be able to decide to you, you also have the possibility of joining your two family names in the order which you will have chosen and of course within the limit of only one surname for each one of you. Five generations passed, the interminable processions of names are thus proscribed. The solution chosen for the first child will be valid for the following. In the event of dissension, baby will take the name of the dad then.
So that your child enjoys the two names, the step is simple, it is enough to make a joint statement at the latest the day of the birth notification.

Newborns before January 1st, 2005, a solution exists

If baby were born before January 1st, 2005, you have until June 30th, 2006 to ask so that your oldest child also bears the name of the relative who could not transmit to it his. To profit from this clause, it was to have less than 13 years to September 1st, 2003, beyond, you are in the obligation to have its assent. This finished step, the second name will then be allotted to all the family.
