If you have parental authority over a child, you are responsible for the child’s care and upbringing.
When you have parental authority, you almost always have a duty to provide financial support.
Parental authority over a child means that you manage the child’s money and belongings and serve as the child’s legal representative.
Parental authority can be exercised as sole parental authority (1 person) or joint parental authority (2 people).
To obtain parental authority, you must meet certain conditions. Applying for parental authority is also subject to specific requirements. For legal parenthood, the law must be strictly followed.
Parental authority is more complex than people often realize beforehand. It is therefore important that you are well-informed about this and take the correct steps.
