Court order in case of endangerment of the child's property


Procedure

The proceedings at the family court are initiated ex officio, in particular through notifications by the youth welfare office or also notifications by neighbors, educators or relatives.

  • The family court investigates the facts of the case and can, for example, order the parents to submit a list of the child's assets and to give an account of their administration.
  • This inventory of assets must be correct and complete, and the parents must provide an assurance that this is the case.
  • If the inventory is not correctly prepared, the family court may order that the inventory be taken by a competent authority or by a competent official or notary.
  • The order of the family court may also include, for example (list is not exhaustive):
    • Withdrawal of the child's money only with the permission of the family court.
    • Deprivation of property custody (in whole or in part)
  • If parts of the care of assets are withdrawn, a guardian is appointed for the areas.
