Is it possible to change the guardian/custodian if the relationship between him and the child is bad?

Yes, this is possible. A guardian or caregiver may be relieved of their duties in the following cases:

1. Poor Relationship with the Child:

• If the relationship between the guardian/caregiver and the child becomes such that it hinders the guardian's or caregiver's ability to perform their duties.

2. Failure to Uphold the Child's Interests:

• If the guardian/caregiver fails to properly perform their duties or violates the child's rights.

Process for Changing a Guardian/Caregiver:

1. Appeal to the Guardianship Authority:

• The interested party (e.g., a relative of the child, the child if of appropriate age, or a representative from the child welfare service) submits an application to the guardianship authority.

2. Investigation of Circumstances:

• The guardianship authority conducts an investigation, evaluating the living conditions of the child and the relationship between the child and the guardian/caregiver.

3. Decision Making:

• If the circumstances are confirmed, the guardianship authority will decide to relieve the guardian/caregiver and appoint a new one.

4. Court Intervention:

• In some cases, if there is a dispute, the issue is resolved through legal proceedings.

Note:

• When making a decision, the guardianship authority prioritizes the best interests of the child.
