Wijziging van Boek 1 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek in verband met het juridisch ouderschap van de vrouwelijke partner van de moeder anders dan door adoptie

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This procedure proposes an amendment to the Dutch Civil Code regarding the legal parenthood of a mother's female partner. It aims to simplify the process for the non-biological mother to be legally recognized as a parent without having to go through a formal adoption process. This change primarily affects female couples and their children in the Netherlands, providing greater legal certainty and equality in parental rights and responsibilities.
