Cap. 16 Art. 77AApplication for declaration of parenthood.

Without prejudice to the provisions of article 81, any person claiming to be the natural parent of a child born in wedlock, or that person’s heirs if the person was deceased before the child is born, may proceed by sworn application before the competent court against the spouses and child, or their respective heirs if anyone of them is deceased, in order to be declared as the natural parent of the child, and only if that person produces evidence that during the time from the three-hundredth day to the one-hundred-and-eightieth day before the birth of the child, the spouse who gave birth had committed adultery with that person and furthermore produces evidence of any other fact which may also be genetic and scientific tests and data that tends to exclude one of the spouses as the natural parent of the child.
