CC; Parte seconda: Della parentela; Titolo settimo: Del sorgere della filiazione ; Capo terzo: Del riconoscimento e della sentenza di paternità ; A. Riconoscimento; II. Contestazione; 1. Diritto all’azione
Art. 260a CC
Il riconoscimento può essere contestato davanti al giudice da ogni interessato, segnatamente dalla madre, dal figlio e, dopo la sua morte, dai suoi discendenti, nonché dal Comune di origine o di domicilio dell’autore del riconoscimento.
L’autore del riconoscimento può proporre l’azione soltanto se ha riconosciuto il figlio sotto l’influsso di una minaccia di grave ed imminente pericolo per la vita, la salute, l’onore o il patrimonio proprio o di una persona a lui intimamente legata ovvero trovandosi in errore circa la sua paternità.
L’azione è diretta contro l’autore del riconoscimento e il figlio, sempreché essi non siano attori.
