Article 769Succession of Rights after Reversion to Previous Surname upon Divorce

第七百六十九条(離婚による復氏の際の権利の承継)

If the husband or wife who changed surnames upon marriage becomes party to a divorce by agreement after succeeding to rights as referred to in Article 897, paragraph (1), the matter of who succeeds to those rights must be determined through the agreement of the parties and any other interested persons.

婚姻によって氏を改めた夫又は妻が、第八百九十七条第一項の権利を承継した後、協議上の離婚をしたときは、当事者その他の関係人の協議で、その権利を承継すべき者を定めなければならない。

If the agreement referred to in the preceding paragraph is not reached or if discussions toward such an agreement cannot be held, the family court determines who succeeds to the rights referred to in that paragraph.

前項の協議が調わないとき、又は協議をすることができないときは、同項の権利を承継すべき者は、家庭裁判所がこれを定める。
