What to do
How to resolve your situation: step by step
Termination of parental rights is a last resort, and a court applies it only on grounds provided by law. So the key things in such a case are evidence that a ground really exists and the report of the guardianship authority.
- 01
Check the ground
Evading the child's upbringing, cruel treatment, addictions and other grounds set by law. A divorce by itself is not a ground.
- 02
Gather evidence
Letters from the school and nursery, correspondence, witnesses, documents on child support arrears, reports to the police.
- 03
Contact the guardianship authority
The court must take its report into account. Prepare documents and explanations.
- 04
File a claim
The claim is filed in court with evidence. The question of child support can be decided at the same time.
- 05
Consider other routes
If the goal is taking the child abroad or getting documents, a court can grant permission without terminating rights, and that is faster.
This is the general order of steps. The analysis of your situation will show what applies to you and which deadlines apply in your case.
What the conclusion covers
A Jurly conclusion on your situation
In a conclusion on parental rights, Jurly matches your situation against the grounds a court recognises, names the evidence to collect, explains the role of the guardianship authority and shows whether there is a simpler way to your goal, such as permission for the child to travel without terminating rights.
The analysis of your situation is free. A written conclusion costs UAH 199; you see the price before paying.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
On what grounds can parental rights be terminated?
On grounds set by law, in particular evading the child's upbringing, cruel treatment and addictions. The court assesses each case individually.
Is it enough that the father does not pay child support?
Child support arrears alone are not always enough. What matters is whether the father evades the child's upbringing in general.
What role does the guardianship authority play?
It prepares a report that the court must take into account. So it is worth contacting it with documents in advance.
Can parental rights be restored?
Yes, if circumstances have changed. This is also decided by a court, taking the child's interests into account.
How much do the analysis and the conclusion cost?
The analysis of your situation is free. A written Jurly conclusion costs UAH 199, and you see the price before paying.
