The Court's Role in Guardianship and Custodianship Cases in Jordan

❓Frequently Asked Questions

What procedures require court permission?

Sale or mortgage of the minor's real estate, waiver of his rights, settlement in suits affecting his funds, traveling abroad with the child in disputed cases, changing the child's religion, major elective surgery.

How does the court oversee the guardian and custodian?

It requires inventory of the minor's funds at the start, periodic reports of expenses and investments, accepts complaints from relatives, conducts social inspection when needed, and intervenes by removal or dismissal when breach is established.

Does the court intervene without a request?

Rarely: upon a notification from an official body (police, school, hospital) about child harm, or upon the custodian's delay in periodic reports. Usually the court proceeds from an explicit request by the parties, relatives, or public prosecution.
