Establishing guardianship of a child through the court: step by step

The process of establishing guardianship of a child through the court in Ukraine is not just a legal procedure, but a responsible path to a new life for both the child and the guardian. Let us outline the main stages of this process.

Action plan for establishing guardianship of a child through the court

The first step is filing an application with the court. The applicant submits documents to the local court either at the child’s place of residence or at their own place of residence. It is essential that the applicant is a legally capable citizen of Ukraine, over 18 years old, and has a positive reference from their place of residence.
The court sets the hearing date, where the applicant, the guardianship authority, and other interested parties must be present. The guardianship authority provides a conclusion on the advisability of appointing a guardian, assessing the applicant’s living conditions and ability to fulfill guardian’s duties.
After reviewing all case materials, the court issues a decision on establishing guardianship. If the decision is positive, the court appoints the guardian and obliges them to register the decision with the guardianship authorities. The guardian receives an official certificate and acquires the rights and obligations regarding the child.

Rights and obligations of the guardian

The guardian:

Represents the child’s interests before state and local authorities;
Manages the child’s property and reports on its use;
Ensures the child’s physical, psychological, and social well-being;
