The basis for obtaining the status of a single mother is the absence of a marriage record or the presence of a divorce certificate. However, a certificate is not enough. It is necessary to confirm the fact that the father really does not participate in the upbringing of the child. For this, the mother can apply to the court with a claim to deprive him of his parental rights, which will be decided by the court. You can also turn to the police in connection with the need to search for the father in the case of a claim for the collection of alimony. In this case, the relevant resolution of the investigator will be the document that confirms the fact of the father's non-participation in the upbringing of the child. Also, a certificate from a school, kindergarten stating that the father does not take part in the child's upbringing, or a similar document drawn up and signed by neighbors can be the basis. It should be added that the specified list of documents is not exhaustive, and there is no single established document sample that would certify the status of a single mother.
You can submit an application for receiving the service by registered letter to the local body of social protection of the population or other authorized persons.
