DEPRIVATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS
DEPRIVATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS

Summary/Abstract: Parenthood has existed since the beginning of time. Since ancient times, the attitude towards children has been shaped within the human community depending on its tradition, but also on its economic power. The attitude towards children, their upbringing and education, has changed over the centuries. The relationship between a child and parents is established by the fact of the child's birth. As a legal relationship with certain rights and obligations, it lasts until the child reaches the age of majority, and if the child is in regular school, until the child reaches the age of 26. In this respect, the child is not only an “object of legal protection” but above all a subject of law who, through certain legal actions and activities, can have a significant impact on the making of important decisions in his or her life and development, of course in accordance with the age and maturity achieved. In addition to the fact of birth, i.e. the establishment of a parent-child relationship through natural means, parenthood can also arise through adoption, i.e. through legal means. According to the Family Law of the Republic of Serbia, the legal position of natural parents and adoptive parents in relation to a born or adopted child is equal.[1] The work is based on the very beginnings of the proceedings in the subject matter, which are based on legal concepts, principles, practice and proceedings, without which there would be no current practice and proceedings in this very important matter.
