Basically, upon divorce, children remain with their mothers by court order. Statistics show that in Russian families, after a divorce, children remain with their father only in 5% of cases. At the same time, the court considers many reasons for leaving children with their father, they must be confirmed by various documents and certificates.
Instructions
Step 1
Children can stay with after a divorce only in the most critical situations. For example, if the mother does not fulfill her parental responsibilities due to excessive alcohol consumption. In this case, the court will be on the side of the father, since an alcoholic mother or, even worse, a drug addict, can give little to the child, except for a bad example. Neighbors and other witnesses can prove the mother's addictions.
Step 2
Less significant reasons why the court can still take the side of the father and leave the children with him after a divorce are the mother's great financial difficulties or her strong employment. At the same time, the court compares the material wealth of both parents and their own living space. It is worth noting that these reasons are not always advantageous for the father.
Step 3
The child can be left with the father if the court concludes that the mother is inappropriately raising the child - leaving him unattended or using violence. This fact also requires proof.
Step 4
If the child has reached a conscious age, the court will assess to which of the parents he is more attached. Sometimes it happens that the child is more attached to the father than to the mother. Nevertheless, do not forget that no one can replace a child's mother. Parenting is especially important when the child is still young.
