On pronouncing the total withdrawal of parental authority, the court hearing the case may rule on the change of the child’s name, subject to the child’s personal consent if he or she is over thirteen years of age.
Fathers and mothers whose parental authority has been totally withdrawn or whose rights have been withdrawn for one of the reasons set out in articles 378 and 378-1 may, by petition, obtain from the court, on proof of new circumstances, the restoration to them, in whole or in part, of the rights of which they have been deprived.

Failing diligence on the part of the legal administrators, the judge may make this appointment at the request of the public prosecutor, the minor himself or of his own…
