Restriction of Parental Rights — When and How
Restriction of parental rights and duties is one of the most sensitive instruments of family law. Under the Civil Code of Georgia, parental rights and duties may be restricted only by a court decision, unless the Code provides otherwise. The court may restrict one or several parental rights and duties independently of the others — the restriction can therefore be partial and targeted. It is important that, as far as possible, the parent retains the obligation to maintain the child while their parental right is restricted, in accordance with the maintenance obligations provided for by the Code. Guardianship or custody is established with respect to a child whose both parents have been restricted in their parental rights or duties.
