Family: The protection of the child is above the "company" of the parents.

Child protection
Published on: 8 September 2015

According to a judgement handed down by the Civil-Family Division of the Supreme Court on 18 June 2015, the Court upheld the interruption of a minor's relationship with his parents, after becoming aware of the delay and regression he has suffered since visits with his biological mother began again.

The Civil Chamber of the Spanish Supreme Court accepts as a doctrine that the administration has the possibility of suspending the visiting arrangements of the parents towards a minor under guardianship and in foster care. However, as soon as this decision is taken, it must be immediately communicated to the judicial body.

The Supreme Court points out that it is a question of guaranteeing in any case, in an immediate manner, the good end of the protection measure adopted, giving priority to the interests of the child. The ruling, for which the judge José Antonio Seijas was the rapporteur, reveals that the judicial control of this administrative resolution is guaranteed when the judge confirms the decision.

For any question related to the present case, you can consult the Family Law Department of G.Elias y Muñoz Abogados.
