An action may be brought in the Superior Court for the purpose of having declared the existence or non-existence between the parties of the relation of parent and child, by birth or adoption.

SOURCE: CC § 235 enacted by P.L. 15-063:1 (Feb. 3, 1976).

NOTE: Chapter III, Title II, Part III of Division First, Civil Code formerly comprised § 231, “Declaration of Parental Relation”. This Chapter was inadvertently repealed by P.L. 13-133:2 and a new Chapter III enacted in its place. To correct this, § 235, which is substantially the same as the original § 231, was added to the Civil Code as Chapter IV, same Title, by P.L. 15-63:1. It has now been renumbered by the Compiler.
