The Union of Fathers appreciated the idea to change the procedure for choosing the place of residence of the child after the death of a parent

It is noted that this will be necessary if the second parent has not appeared for a long time.

Solenov also stated the importance of conducting an examination even in the case when one of the parents prevented the other parent from communicating with the child. 

“Here, psychological and pedagogical expertise is important, and from all sides - both the parent and the child.

So that he understands that his second parent, who is ready to take custody of him, is his closest person, but, for example, they did not communicate due to some circumstances, ”the expert explained.

In addition, he stressed that in such a situation it is important to pay attention to the material and housing issues.

“If, for example, a child, his grandmother, grandfather live in one city, and his father or mother, with whom he had not previously communicated, live in another, how will this affect the state of the child?

Here, the examination should be comprehensive, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT. 

Earlier Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Republic of Tatarstan, founder of the National Parents' Committee Irina Volynets proposed to change the rules for determining the residence of a child after the death of a parent.

As Volynets explained in an interview with RT, the appeal refers to children who permanently live with one of the parents, but do not maintain relations with the second.

Now, after the death of one parent who lived with the child, he is transferred to the second parent, even if they have never met, the children's ombudsman added.
