Supplementary Provisions, Article 14
第十四条
If, at the time the New Act comes into effect, parents who are not married to each other are in fact jointly exercising parental authority over a minor child, they continue to jointly exercise parental authority after the New Act comes into effect; provided, however, that the parents may, by agreement, determine one of them to be the person with parental authority.
新法施行の際、現に、婚姻中でない父母が、共同して未成年の子に対して親権を行つている場合には、新法施行後も、引き続き共同して親権を行う。但し、父母は、協議でその一方を親権者と定めることができる。
If the agreement referred to in the proviso of the preceding paragraph is not reached, or if discussions cannot be held, the family affairs tribunal may, at the request of the father or mother, make an adjudication in lieu of the agreement.
前項但書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、家事審判所は、父又は母の請求によつて協議に代わる審判をすることができる。
The provisions of Article 819, paragraph (6) of the New Act apply mutatis mutandis where a person with parental authority has been determined pursuant to the proviso of paragraph (1) or the preceding paragraph.
