Parental custody in the case of appointment of a curator or of foster care

(1) The parental custody does not extend to matters of the child for which a curator has been appointed.

(2) Where the care for the person of the child or the care for the assets of the child is the responsibility of a curator, then the family court decides, if the parents and the curator cannot agree in a matter that relates to both the person and the assets of the child.

(3) If the parents place the child in foster care for a long period of time, the family court, on application by the parents or of the foster carer, may transfer matters of parental custody to the foster carer. The transfer on application by the foster carer requires the approval of the parents. In the scope of the transfer, the foster carer has the rights and duties of a curator.
