When a child reaches the age of 14, he is given the right to defend his interests on his own and choose with which parent he wants to stay in the event of a divorce. But small children are defenseless and cannot do anything if the father is cruel to them or does not educate. However, it is not only the mother who can file a claim for the deprivation of the parental rights of the father, but also a representative of an educational institution or a medical worker.
It is necessary
Submission of a statement of claim to the court
Instructions
Step 1
There are many reasons for depriving a father of parental rights. If child support has not been paid for six months without good reason, which can be proven with the help of a bank statement from the account intended for transferring payments, you can safely prepare a lawsuit in court. The testimony of witnesses and the conclusion of the guardianship authorities will be of great importance. If the bailiff is able to oblige the father to pay alimony, then the grounds for deprivation of parental rights according to the legislation of Ukraine will automatically disappear.
Step 2
If the child's father does not allow the mother to exercise her parental rights, then this is considered an abuse, which, for example, may manifest itself in the father's ban on the child's visit to foreign countries. Indeed, to travel abroad, you need the permission of a parent who does not accompany the child. Such a nuance may become an additional basis for a positive court decision to deprive the father of parental rights.
Step 3
Also, one of the serious grounds is chronic alcoholism, conviction for committing a crime against a baby and drug addiction.
Step 4
If the father exploits the child, forces him to vagrancy, beats the child, which can be confirmed with the help of a medical examination, then he is definitely deprived of all rights in relation to the child.
Step 5
A father deprived of parental rights also loses moral rights, is completely relieved of his parenting responsibilities and is no longer considered a relative of the child. But he also has the right to go to court and restore his lost rights. The court examines how the father's behavior has changed and makes a decision depending on the interests of the child, taking into account the opinion of the mother or other relatives.
Step 6
The laws of Ukraine state that the father is responsible for the harm caused to the child for another 3 years from the date of deprivation of his parental rights, but only if the court has established that the child's behavior that caused the harm was the result of the father's improper performance of his duties.
Step 7
If, after giving birth, the baby is not taken from the maternity hospital without a valid reason within six months, both parents are deprived of parental rights.
