Motherhood is the most important function of any woman. A child in a family is considered a great happiness, he is awaited with impatience and after birth he is cherished every minute. Women dream of becoming a mother and passing on the experience of life to their child, be it a boy or a girl. Moms invest a part of themselves in raising their baby.
Reasons why a mother may have a child taken away
Unfortunately, not all moms are perfect. There are those who neglect motherhood, offending their children or infringing on their rights. There are a number of reasons after which a mother may be deprived of her parental rights.
Deprivation of parental rights occurs when the mother does not cope with her responsibilities as a parent; refuses to take the child from the hospital or from the hospital in which he is located; abuses his rights in relation to the child; behaves cruelly towards children, using mental or physical violence, and what is most terrible - encroaches on the child's sexual integrity; suffers from alcoholism or drug addiction; committed some kind of crime that became dangerous for her children or husband.
How is deprivation of parental rights
In order to take the child away from the mother, it is necessary to provide evidence that the mother is unable to fulfill her maternal responsibilities. To do this, you will need the help of witnesses and documents about the material condition of the person who wants to take the child for himself.
The decision that the child is taken away from the mother, handing over to the father, is made only by the court. This happens when the mother in the family suffers from alcoholism or drug addiction. In this case, the father is obliged to provide evidence of this woman's position, which includes medical reports and certificates.
If the mother neglects her direct responsibilities towards the child, for example, she leaves the baby alone for several days, and she herself disappears, no one knows where. In this case, the father also has the right to seek the deprivation of the woman's maternal rights through the court. It is very important that there are several witnesses in the courtroom at the hearing that the mother does not really care for the child properly.
If a woman is raising a child alone, being divorced, she may well become a victim of being deprived of her maternal rights. This is possible when the child's father has housing and funds to support the child, but the mother does not.
However, taking away a child does not necessarily imply a deprivation of parental rights. For example, a child who previously lived with his mother can be given to the father to be raised. Such a decision is made through the courts. During the proceedings, attention is paid to how the mother brings up the child, how she supports him, whether she devotes a lot of time to him. Also, the opinion of the child himself is taken into account (sometimes there were cases when children themselves expressed a desire to live with dad, because they felt better with him), as well as the opinions of close relatives.
