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 legislative proposal aims to amend the Dutch Civil Code to simplify how the female partner of a mother can establish legal parenthood. It seeks to provide a more direct legal route for recognition of parenthood without requiring a full adoption process. This change primarily affects female couples raising children together, ensuring that the non-biological mother has legal rights and responsibilities toward the child from an earlier stage.
