Swiss Civil Code

¹ The fath­er and the moth­er must re­frain from any con­duct that im­pairs the child’s re­la­tion­ship with the oth­er par­ent or makes the task of the per­son with cus­tody more dif­fi­cult.³³⁵

² Where con­tact with the child is not in its best in­terests, or the par­ents breach their du­ties in the course of such con­tact or have not cared for the child to any mean­ing­ful de­gree, or oth­er good cause ex­ists, the par­ents’ right of con­tact with the child may be re­fused or with­drawn.

³ Where the par­ents have con­sen­ted to the ad­op­tion of their child or their con­sent may be dis­pensed with, their right of con­tact with the child is ex­tin­guished as soon as the child is placed in foster care with a view to fu­ture ad­op­tion.
