Fundamental Rights of Children of Divorced Parents

Some treat this topic as an interested and affected person, who may or may not be a pawn, when it comes to possession or movable possessions of one or both parents. Here are some considerations on this topic and some of the rights children have when faced with a divorce in the family:

1. The right to grow up in the home, which offers the
    child the best opportunity to be a mature and
    responsible citizen.

2. The right to daily love, care, education and protection by the custodial parent.

3. The right to know the noncustodial parent and to enjoy regular visits as well as their love and guidance.

4. The right to a positive and constructive relationship with both parents, who should not talk bad of one
    another when the child is present and who should not try to turn the child against the other parent.

5. The right to moral and ethical values that are to be encouraged by example and education practices. Also,
    some limits should be established, so that the child develops their self-discipline and self control early in
    life.

6. The right to the best possible economic conditions that can be created by the active efforts of both
    parents.

7. The right to educational opportunities equal to those that the child would have had if their family had not
    been broken.

8. The right to a periodic review of custody and living arrangements if it appears to be necessary for the
    welfare of the child.

9. The right to recognition that are affected by a divorce, as children are always disadvantaged parties and
    the law should take its well-affirmative steps, which must also include an investigation to determine their
    interests and the appointment of an adviser to protect them.
