114. Only the father, mother or parent may declare the filiation of a child with regard to themselves. However, where the child is conceived or born during the marriage, civil union or de facto union, one of the spouses may declare the filiation of the child with regard to the other spouse.

In the case of a de facto union, the declaring spouse must provide, with the declaration of birth, an affidavit in which the spouse states the facts and circumstances showing that the child was born during the union or within 300 days after the end of the union. The spouse must also attach to the declaration an affidavit from a third person corroborating the spouse’s affidavit and, where applicable, any other evidence proving the union. If need be, the registrar of civil status makes a summary investigation to obtain additional information.

No other person may declare the filiation with regard to one of the parents, except with the authorization of that parent.
