Law of Persons and Family Law. Can the granting of substitute consent for the recognition of a child (Article 1:204 paragraph 3 of the Civil Code) be combined in a single procedure with the awarding of custody over that child (Article 1:253c paragraphs 2-4 of the Civil Code)?
Decision on rechtspraak.nlFamily law. Act on the promotion of continued parenthood and careful separation. Contact arrangement between parent and child. Habitual residence of the child. Transitional law. Termination of cohabitation of unmarried parents whose authority has been registered in the authority register referred to in Article 1:244 of the Civil Code pursuant to Article 1:252, paragraph 1, of the Civil Code. New procedural requirements do not apply to petitions filed before the date of entry into force of the Act. The stay of proceedings provided for in Article 1:253a, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code is a new procedural requirement. The court is not required, in connection with the entry into force of this Act, to invariably assume an equal division of the habitual residence of the child and an equal division of the care and upbringing tasks between both parents. The principle of equality between both parents adopted by the legislature does not imply that, in deciding on the habitual residence of a minor child and the division of care and upbringing tasks, the best interests of the minor child should not carry the greatest weight. The equality of parents laid down in Article 1:247 of the Civil Code does not mandate an equal (50%-50%) division of the time the child spends with each parent.
