Refusal of the child

For any committed unseemly acts, one must not only keep an answer before one's conscience, but at times pay off the entire subsequent life. And it's impossible to quit such a sin as rejecting a child.

According to statistics, today every thirty-eighth Russian child lives in a state institution, foster family or guardians. Most often children are refused in the first days of their lives. And there are a lot of reasons: congenital malformations or severe diseases of the baby, poor financial situation, lack of housing, young age of the mother, rape and, as a result of psychological trauma, unwillingness to recognize the child. It is very difficult to take such a decision, but the fact remains that refuseniks in the maternity hospitals are appearing more often.

How to abandon a child

Strange as it may seem, the Russian Family Code has not yet acquired an article that allows for a child to be rejected. By law, you can not abandon your own child, but on application - please. It is on the basis of the application written by the parents and the cases of deprivation of their parental rights are examined.

If the biological mother has decided to leave the newborn child in the hospital, she needs to write an appropriate application. Information about the baby is transferred to the guardianship authorities, and the baby is transferred to the baby's house. Within half a year, the abandoned mother still has parental rights, and she can take her child, but if her decision remains the same, the baby can be transferred to adoption or education in a tutelary family.

He has the right to take a newborn child and register guardianship over him as well as the husband of the abandoned woman, the grandparents of the child, other close relatives.

Refusal of the child deprives the parents of the rights to it, but does not absolve them from their duties. Until the baby is adopted, the failed parents are obliged to pay for its maintenance.

Refusal of the child by the father

There are also cases when the child refuses the father. If the decision is made voluntarily, the father must apply to the notary office and write on a special application form. The refusal is certified by a notary, and the application is submitted to the court. The court session makes an appropriate decision, after which the father is deprived of parental rights to the child.

Men have their reasons for refusal. The main arguments, as a rule, are two: unwillingness to pay alimony and insecurity in one's own paternity. As for the second reason, it is possible to solve this problem in a less painful way - it is enough to conduct appropriate tests. If the examination confirms the fears of a man, then no one has the right to file material claims to him, and the record of paternity on the blank of the child's birth certificate will be abolished.

If to speak about the alimony, the refusal of the child does not save the father from the obligation to pay for his maintenance. The biological parent can be released from alimony only if his child is taken up by another person.

Refusal of the adopted child

Today there are also cases of rejection of adopted children. The Family Code gives equal rights to both biological parents and adoptive parents. If the family adopting a child decided to formalize the refusal of the child, then it must be certified by a notary and sent to the court. The court session in the presence of representatives of the guardianship authorities and the prosecutor will review the application and take the necessary decision. However, even if the adoption is revoked by a court decision, this fact does not exempt from compulsory payment of alimony in favor of the child, from which the family was not ashamed to refuse.
