The Acknowledgement Of Paternity Form is a crucial legal document used in Switzerland when a father wishes to formally recognize his paternity of a child. This document is particularly relevant when the parents are not married, or when the child is born outside of marriage. It must comply with the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB/CC) Articles 252-260 and the Civil Status Ordinance, which govern the establishment of father-child relationships. The form requires detailed personal information from all parties, formal declarations, and must be executed before a civil registry officer. Once completed and registered, it establishes legal rights and obligations between father and child, including inheritance rights, maintenance obligations, and potential shared parental authority. The document can have significant international implications when either party has foreign nationality, requiring compliance with the Federal Act on Private International Law.
