Court authorisation in place of a parent’s consent

Legal assistance in disputes concerning court substitution for parental consent

Disagreements between parents over important decisions may be resolved by the guardianship court under Article 486 of the Civil Code, taking account of the child’s best interests. Court substitution for consent may concern a passport, travel, schooling or other decisions requiring agreement, subject to the applicable special rules. Not every dispute requires proof of bad faith: the court examines the necessity of the measure and both parents’ arguments. For establishing residence in another country or other measures with lasting effects, the procedural route must be chosen carefully. A lawyer helps you precisely define the consent sought and demonstrate why the proposed solution serves the child.

Interim injunctions, unjustified refusal and defence strategies

In urgent cases, we check whether the conditions for an interim injunction are met and whether the measure can be provisional without deciding the merits. A holiday, study trip or other specific situation must be supported by documents concerning its purpose, duration, safety and the child’s return. Emergency medical treatment must not be delayed pending a court judgment where Article 15 of Law No. 46/2003 permits treatment without the legal representative’s consent. In other cases, we argue the child’s interests, the measure’s necessity and the reasons for refusal, without automatically assuming abuse. The aim is a judgment substituting for the necessary consent within the limits of an admissible claim.
