Article 313 of the French Civil Code

The presumption of paternity is set aside when the child’s birth certificate does not name the husband as the father. It is further set aside where the child was born more than three hundred days after the application for divorce or legal separation was lodged or after the agreement settling all the consequences of the divorce was filed with a notary, and less than one hundred and eighty days since the final rejection of the application or the reconciliation.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 313

La présomption de paternité est écartée lorsque l’acte de naissance de l’enfant ne désigne pas le mari en qualité de père. Elle est encore écartée lorsque l’enfant est né plus de trois cents jours après l’introduction de la demande en divorce ou en séparation de corps ou après le dépôt au rang des minutes d’un notaire de la convention réglant l’ensemble des conséquences du divorce, et moins de cent quatre-vingts jours depuis le rejet définitif de la demande ou la réconciliation.
