Article 379 of the French Civil Code

The total withdrawal of parental authority ordered under articles 378 and 378-1 carries by operation of law all attributes, both proprietary and personal, attached to parental authority; in the absence of any other determination, it extends to all minor children already born at the time of the judgment.

It entails, for the child, exemption from the maintenance obligation, by derogation from articles 205 to 207, unless otherwise provided in the withdrawal judgment.

Le retrait total de l’autorité parentale prononcé en vertu des articles 378 et 378-1 porte de plein droit sur tous les attributs, tant patrimoniaux que personnels, se rattachant à l’autorité parentale ; à défaut d’autre détermination, il s’étend à tous les enfants mineurs déjà nés au moment du jugement.

Il emporte, pour l’enfant, dispense de l’obligation alimentaire, par dérogation aux articles 205 à 207, sauf disposition contraire dans le jugement de retrait.
