What documents do I need to prove that I am a single parent?

What documents can confirm the independent maintenance of a child without the participation of the mother:

• court decision on deprivation of parental rights;

• an act drawn up by the social welfare commission created by the primary trade union organization;

• a certificate from the school (kindergarten) stating that the mother does not take part in the child's upbringing.

The basis for obtaining the status of a single parent is the absence of a record of marriage or the presence of a divorce certificate, but one certificate is not enough here. The legislation allows for a serious gap - the law does not explicitly provide which documents confirm that the mother does not take part in raising the child. In this case, the father can apply to the court with a claim to deprive the mother of parental rights, on which the court's decision will be made. You can also turn to the police in connection with the need to search for the mother in the case of a claim for the recovery of alimony. Here, the document confirming the fact of the mother's non-participation in raising the child will be the investigator's decision. This status can also be confirmed by the mother's death certificate or a court decision to declare her missing. The list of documents is inexhaustible.
