Failure to fulfill parental duties implies neglect of the obligations to raise, care for, care for and educate the child. In addition to the physical safety of the child, the parental obligation includes his emotional support, facilitating his education and creating appropriate living conditions.

In Georgia, this issue is considered both in civil and criminal terms, depending on the severity of the action and the consequences. Often, systematic neglect of duties by a parent leads to the creation of a real threat to the life and health of the child, which is already a criminal offense.

The involvement of a professional lawyer in this complex and extremely sensitive process is vital. Legal services are aimed both at protecting the best interests of the child and ensuring the safety of the adolescent victim of neglect, as well as at protecting the rights of the parent who may be unjustly accused. Highly qualified legal assistance ensures the restoration of justice and reliable protection of the child's future.
