Art. 270a Codice civile svizzero (CC)
CC; Parte seconda: Della parentela; Titolo ottavo: Degli effetti della filiazione ; Capo primo: Della comunione dei figli coi genitori ; A. Cognome; II. Figlio di genitori non coniugati
Art. 270a CC
Se l’autorità parentale spetta a un solo genitore, il figlio ne assume il cognome da nubile o da celibe. Se l’autorità parentale è esercitata congiuntamente, i genitori stabiliscono se il figlio porterà il cognome da nubile della madre o il cognome da celibe del padre.
Se l’autorità parentale congiunta è istituita dopo la nascita del primo figlio, entro un anno dalla sua istituzione i genitori possono dichiarare all’ufficiale dello stato civile che il figlio porterà il cognome da nubile o da celibe dell’altro genitore. La dichiarazione vale per tutti i figli comuni, a prescindere dall’attribuzione dell’autorità parentale.
Se l’autorità parentale non spetta ad alcuno dei genitori, il figlio assume il cognome da nubile della madre.
Le modifiche dell’attribuzione dell’autorità parentale non hanno ripercussioni sul cognome. Sono fatte salve le disposizioni sul cambiamento del nome.
