Section 542.22
Disposition versions
542.22. A child may contest his filiation on the sole ground that he was born as a result of sexual assault committed by his father or by the parent who did not give birth to him, whether or not there is uninterrupted possession of status consistent with his act of birth. The contestation can only be granted if the interest of the child demands it.
The child may apply for the definitive restoration of the bond of filiation that was withdrawn at his request, unless he has been adopted.
