Deprivation of parental rights is a rather unpleasant procedure, clear requirements for which are established by law. It is possible to deprive parental rights only through the courts and only to protect the interests of the child.
The reasons why a former spouse can be deprived of parental rights are indicated in the Family Code of Russia. So, for example, if the father evades the payment of alimony, does not take part in the upbringing and material maintenance of the child, the court will have grounds to satisfy the claim for the deprivation of his parental rights.
In addition, if a parent teaches a child to use alcoholic beverages, drugs, abuses him and there is evidence of this, he will be deprived of the rights to the child.
An unconditional basis for depriving a father of parental rights is also the presence of a chronic disease - alcoholism or drug addiction, but this must be confirmed by medical certificates.
Claims of this nature are filed with the district courts at the place of residence of the child. Moreover, you need to pay attention to this feature: the claim is filed on behalf of the child, that is, he will appear in the trial as a plaintiff, but the mother or other relative who filed an application in the trial is the applicant.
You can only revoke parental rights if the child has not reached the age of 18. If the child has not yet been born or has already grown, it is impossible to deprive the ex-husband of the parental rights.
The application for depriving the ex-husband of parental rights must contain: the reason for the termination of the marriage with him (his alcoholism, abuse of relatives, etc.), information that the father does not comply with the court order to recover alimony or an agreement on their payment.
A certificate stating that the parent does not pay alimony can be given by bailiffs.
The court must pay attention to the living conditions of the child. If the deprivation of parental rights by the father does not lead to the child having to move to worse conditions, the court will uphold the claim.
