Nine dads and a grandmother were today at the door of the daycare center. The routine of taking children to their care center or school early in the morning is increasingly a responsibility of the dads. That image is a, let\u2019s say, positive sample button of the naturalization of new family roles and the co-responsibility that raising our kids entails. The same can be seen in parks and hospitals; we are more and more dads who arrive, are present and take part.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is true, it can be argued that it is the mothers, in general, who get up early, make breakfast, wake up and \u201cshake up\u201d the little people at home, and ensure that they leave \u201cwith everything ready.\u201d It is also true that behind closed doors, gender inequality is still a latent fact.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, and without these and other alerts, things are beginning to change in the dynamics within the home. Responsible parenthood, the visions and behaviors related to \u201cbeing a dad\u201d are transformed into relationships of greater equality, and multiple responsibilities, without the stony division of roles based on gender.<\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is that another paternity is on the debate table, in the legal precepts, in the configuration of a liberating culture that makes its way into the dense Cuban social fabric. The <\/span>Family Code<\/span><\/a> accounts for this particular. Nearly thirty of his Articles refer directly to fathers. We are also recognized as subjects of law in the nascent Code. This \u2014 and it is good to say it \u2014, removes established injustices that hinder the right and growth that another fatherhood entails.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among its first ideas, the Code affirms the protection of both maternity and paternity, and the promotion of their responsible development (Article 4, h). It announces, among the duties of social institutions and the State, the promotion of favorable attitudes in relation to paternity (Article 438). It is directed, in the same sense, that the Ministry of Labor and Social Security dictate the legal norms, among other matters, on the protection of paternity (Twenty-fourth Provision).<\/span><\/p>\n

The breadth of the controversial term \u201cparental responsibility\u201d is also specified in the judicial recognition of multi-parenthood, including that which occurs for socio-affective reasons. In other words, a stable family bond can be proven, regardless of a biological bond, in favor of someone who, as a legal mother or father, has fulfilled the duties of paternity or maternity and who, due to their will and actions, can be presumed they are mothers or fathers (Article 57).<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the protection of parents, the paternity (also of maternity) can be investigated using scientifically validated methods and in harmony with the identity and privacy rights of the interested persons (Article 59). In the same spirit of protecting rights, when the name and surnames of the alleged father are not recorded by the mother in the civil registration of a child, he may at any time exercise the action of claiming his affiliation through the legal means (Article 69).<\/span><\/p>\n

The term \u201cparental responsibility\u201d envisages the conditions to assume another type of paternity, to recognize it and endorse rights and duties (Article 134). This contains the legal representation, whether or not they have custody and care, with attention to those cases in which there are conflicts of interest between mothers, fathers and children (Article 135).<\/span><\/p>\n
