For the issue of the residence permit provided for in article L. 423-7, when parentage is established with regard to a parent pursuant to article 316 of the Civil Code, the applicant, if he or she is not the author of the acknowledgement of paternity or maternity, must prove that the latter actually contributes to the upkeep and education of the child, under the conditions set out in article 371-2 of the Civil Code, or produce a court decision relating to the contribution to the upkeep and education of the child.
When the parent-subsidiary relationship is established but proof of the contribution is not produced or no court decision has been made, the applicant’s right to residence is assessed with regard to respect for his or her private and family life and with regard to the best interests of the child.
