Article 1:377b
in forceContact and information
The parent who is vested with parental authority is obliged to keep the parent not vested with parental authority informed regarding important matters concerning the person and the property of the child and to consult the latter — if necessary through the intervention of third parties — regarding decisions to be taken in that respect. At the petition of a parent, the court may establish an arrangement in this matter.
If the interests of the child so require, the court may, both upon the petition of the parent charged with authority and of its own motion, determine that the first paragraph of this article shall remain inapplicable.
Article 377e shall apply mutatis mutandis.
De ouder die met het gezag is belast, is gehouden de niet met het gezag belaste ouder op de hoogte te stellen omtrent gewichtige aangelegenheden met betrekking tot de persoon en het vermogen van het kind en deze te raadplegen - zo nodig door tussenkomst van derden - over daaromtrent te nemen beslissingen. Op verzoek van een ouder kan de rechter ter zake een regeling vaststellen.
Indien het belang van het kind zulks vereist kan de rechter zowel op verzoek van de met het gezag belaste ouder als ambtshalve bepalen dat het eerste lid van dit artikel buiten toepassing blijft.
Artikel 377e is van overeenkomstige toepassing.
