The rights of minor children are protected in a special manner. In many cases, legislation pays particular attention to their legal status. Why? First of all, because the representatives of this social group are as vulnerable as possible in a variety of ways. The state should do everything possible so that the child develops correctly, and the negative impact on him is minimal. The basic rights of parents and children are spelled out in the Family Code. Some of them are contained in the Labor Code, various federal laws and so on.
Juvenile rights
Who is a minor? This is one who has reached the age of fourteen, but has not yet reached the age of eighteen. Eighteen years is the age at which people in our country are recognized as adults. In other countries, adults can be recognized from a different age (for example, from twenty-one years).
Personal non-property rights of minors are numerous. These include the right to life, as well as obtaining family education. It is extremely important, since it is the family that gives the maximum of morality, only in it the child can achieve maximum success in physical and intellectual development. Parents should worry about what happens to the child. It is impossible that they apply at least some violence to him. What happens if they violate this rule? Deprivation of parental rights will be made . This is possible only in court.
The child has every right to communicate freely with his immediate family and, of course, with his parents. The minor will not lose this right even if his parents divorce. A child has the right to see any of the parents even if they live in different states.
Every child has the right to protection. This refers to the protection of all rights and legitimate interests. Who does it carry out? First of all, by parents. In certain situations, a legal representative (for example, a guardian), a guardianship authority, or a prosecutor can act as a defender. Often the rights of the child are restored through the courts. An emancipated teenager can defend his rights and obligations on his own.
The rights of minors include the right to protection from abuse of power over them by the parents, as well as persons who substitute them.
The child has the right to express his own opinion. This applies to any issues that somehow affect his interests. In certain situations, he may appear in court explaining his position on specific issues.
The child has the right to last name, patronymic, first name. These data are usually recorded in certain documents after birth.
There are property rights of minors. First of all, we note that children can be provided not only by parents, but also by any other members of the family in which they are raised. Pensions, alimony and other cash payments due to the child go to the disposal of legal parents, guardians, and so on, but they should be spent specifically on the maintenance of the minor.
Minors have the right to completely freely dispose of income received, as well as donated or otherwise received property. However, we note that there are still limitations.
Those who have not reached the age of fourteen independently make small household transactions, manage their income, choose materials for study, and so on.
Children have the right to use family property. This does not apply to all its types (for example, this right cannot apply to a car).
