If a marriage dissolved, the spouses may take any lawful conducted earlier family name.

Changes in the name of the parents or a parent, like after a divorce, may lead to the determination of the child's name. It will be decided by the parents (in an upright double or joint custody after divorce), in the case that the other parent's consent or the consent can not be obtained at a reasonable cost, sufficient explanation would be enough. Children who are mentally competent and aged 14 years old and above can decide which name to take, if the parent has sole custody, the other parent must be informed of the child's choice of name.
