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 concerns changes to the Dutch Civil Code regarding the legal parenthood of a child born within a marriage or registered partnership where one partner is the mother and the other is her female partner. It aims to establish legal parentage for the female partner without requiring adoption. This change will affect families with same-sex female parents, providing them with clearer legal recognition of their parental status and simplifying the process of establishing legal ties to their children.
