ACTIVE CAPACITY ASCERTAINMENT OF UNDER-AGE PARENTS: CURRENT STATE AND PROSPECTS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The authors of the article attempt to solve some contradictions in the Family Code and the Civil Code associated with the exercising of parental authority of property nature by the under-age parents being unmarried. In accordance with article 62 paragraph 2 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation the lack of full active capacity doesn’t make it possible for under-age parents to exercise their parental authority. Under-age parents are not allowed representing property interests of their children, because they have to obtain a written consent of their legal representatives themselves to conduct transactions certifying by a notary or requiring State registration. In that regard, the authors suggest to increase the grounds range allowing obtaining the full active capacity to an under-age person. Thus, the unmarried person who has reached the age of 16 and gave birth to a child may be considered to have full active capacity. Such recognition of full active capacity is made by guardianship agency with the consent of both parents or one of them in the case of valid reasons of mutual consent unavailability or by adoptive parents or guardians or, failing that, by court decision.
