56.2. A notice of substitution of the usual given name of a minor child may be presented by his tutor or by the minor alone if he is 14 years of age or over.
Except for a compelling reason, the usual given name of a minor child is not substituted if, as the case may be, the father and mother or the parents of the minor child as legal tutors, the tutor, if any, or the minor 14 years of age or over, have not been notified of the notice or if one of them objects to the substitution.
A person who wishes to present such a notice may, if an objection is made, as the case may be, by the father and mother or the parents as legal tutors, by the tutor, if any, or by the minor 14 years of age or over, submit an application to the court before the notice is presented to the registrar of civil status.
