Section 542.37
Disposition versions
542.37. Where an action to claim a contribution to meet the needs of a child born as a result of a sexual assault is brought by the victim of the assault, it is not subject to prescription.
In the event that the person who committed the sexual assault is deceased, the action must be brought within six months after the death. The same applies where the action is brought by a child of full age.
