Section 542.33
Disposition versions
542.33. A person who commits a sexual assault must, in the absence of a bond of filiation with the child born as a result of the assault, pay to the victim of the assault a financial contribution as support, in the form of a lump sum, to meet the child’s needs from his birth until he attains sufficient autonomy.
The sexual assault may be proved, among other means, by the production of a judgment recognizing its existence.
The Minister of Justice may, by regulation, determine standards according to which the contribution is set, including the minimum amount of the contribution.
