539. Where a necessary condition for the validity of the parental project is not met, the filiation of the child is established in accordance with the rules of filiation by acknowledgement or by blood. However, no bond of filiation may be established with regard to the person who agreed to provide their reproductive material as a third person for the purposes of the project or with regard to the person who wanted to form the project but did not give birth to the child.

539. No one may contest the filiation of a child solely on the grounds of the child being born of a parental project involving assisted procreation. However, the married, civil union or de facto spouse of the woman who gave birth to the child may contest the filiation and disavow the child if there was no mutual parental project or if it is established that the child was not born of the assisted procreation.
The rules governing actions relating to filiation by blood apply with the necessary modifications to any contestation of a filiation established pursuant to this chapter.
