Article 666

The action for judicial establishment of paternity of the man who begot the child, may be instituted:

by the mother if the child has not attained the age of fifteen years; or

by the child who is fifteen years or older.

If the mother of the child is dead or is not in a position to manifest her will, the action may be instituted in her place by the maternal grandparents.

In default of maternal grandparents the action may be instituted by maternal great-grandparents.

The person who institutes the action has to adduce substantial evidence that the man has begot the child.

Judicial establishment of paternity is nor possible if a legal filiation link between the child and another man is in existence.

The action may be instituted even after the death of the man who begot the child.
