Parental care Order in case of endangerment of the child's property

If you become aware that a child's property is at risk, in particular by his or her parents or one of his parents, report this to the family court at the district court.

The family court can issue orders if a child's property is endangered and the parents with custody are unwilling or unable to avert the danger.

The order of the family court may include, for example, the following (list is not exhaustive):

• Submission by parents of a list of the child's assets
• Accounting for the management of assets
• Withdrawal of the child's money only with the permission of the family court
• Deprivation of custody (in whole or in part)

If parts of the custody of assets are withdrawn, a caregiver is appointed for the areas.

The family court decides in the exercise of the so-called official investigation principle, which documents are required.

If a child's property is endangered and the parents with custody or one of the parents are unwilling or unable to stop the danger, the family court may issue orders. This is the case, for example, if the child's money has been embezzled.

The procedure can be initiated at the request of a parent (a special form is not prescribed) or through official channels, in particular through reports by the Youth Welfare Office or reports from neighbours, educators or relatives.
