Gender reassignment has no bearing on a person’s status, personal circumstances or property, with the exception of the person’s marriage or registered partnership, which is dissolved.
Change of gender does not affect a person’s civil status or their personal and property relations, except for marriage, partnership, or registered partnership, which is terminated.
A change of gender does not affect a person’s civil status or their personal and property relations. However, marriage, partnership, or registered partnership is terminated upon a change of gender. On the day the gender change occurs, any existing marriage, partnership, or registered partnership (if the person was in one) ceases to exist. This fact is recorded in the marriage register or the registered partnership register (the date of termination is the date stated in the certificate confirming the fulfillment of conditions for gender change). The population register system will update the civil status of the individual and their former spouse or partner, indicating “terminated marriage,” “terminated partnership,” or “terminated registered partnership.”
The rights and obligations of persons whose marriage or partnership has ended, regarding a joint child and their property rights and obligations after the termination, are governed similarly to the provisions applicable to divorced spouses concerning a joint child and their property rights and obligations after divorce. The court shall decide, even without a petition, how each parent will care for the joint child in the future.
