Article 81. Implications of the deprivation of parental rights

Parents deprived of parental rights shall lose all rights based on the fact of kinship with the child in respect of whom they were deprived of parental rights, including the right to receive maintenance from him/her, as well as the right to benefits and allowances established by law for citizens with children.

Deprivation of parental rights shall not exempt the parents from the duty to support their child.

The issue of further cohabitation of the child and the parents (or one of them), deprived of parental rights shall be considered by court in line with the procedure established by the housing legislation.

A child in respect of whom the parents (or one of them) are deprived of parental rights shall retain the right of ownership of the living premises or the right to use the living premises, and shall also retain property rights based on the fact of kinship with the parents and other relatives, including the right to inherit, if the child is not adopted.

In the event of impossibility to transfer the child to the other parent or if both parents are deprived of parental rights, the child shall be transferred into the custody of the guardianship and trusteeship body.

Adoption of the child if the parents (or one of them) are deprived of parental rights shall be allowed not earlier than six months from the date of the court decision to deprive the parents (or one of them) of parental rights.
