A single father in terms of social status is an important category. Unfortunately, an incomplete family, in which, of course, is more often present, however, single fathers also take place, are not so rare. In fact, it doesn't matter how this situation turned out. The main thing is that, logically, a single father should not, in principle, be different from a single mother.

The main task of a single father is to ensure that his child (or children) become a future citizen. But life is not easy. It may happen that a single father does not have the opportunity to receive any help from relatives due to their absence.

In this case, the state should come to the rescue, providing benefits to single fathers in possible social areas. Moreover, this support does not differ from the support of single mothers. And this should not be forgotten.

A single father is a category of citizens who have a huge responsibility, caused by the need to raise a child and guarantee him, without exaggeration, "double" attention and full care. In the absence of a life partner, it is very difficult to properly fulfill the duties of both parents.

From a legal point of view, the status of a single father, like a single mother, automatically means that the family receives the status of "incomplete", such a parent will have the right to receive mandatory assistance from the government.

For reference. Only a single father can apply for the status, when the mother of the child was legally deprived of parental rights, recognized as incapacitated (due to mental disorders, for example), died, is considered missing.

Employment rights and benefits prescribed for single fathers

Within the framework of the Labor Code, the single father is provided with the following benefits:

  • Obtaining the right by a citizen for part-time work, while no entry is made in the work book on this fact;
  • It is impossible to call single fathers to work on the night shift, with the onset of late evening hours, thereby ensuring the stability of care for the remaining child;
  • When there is a child under the age of five, the parent may, according to the situation, be sent on a business trip, as an alternative - for overtime work only after obtaining written consent from him;
  • When a parent is the only parent of a disabled child (as well as an ordinary child under the age of 14), they cannot terminate the labor agreement with him, he must be provided with a source of income in accordance with the provision (Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 554, dated 05.06.1992 );
  • The sick leave is paid in full, taking into account the average monthly earnings;
  • A citizen has the right to receive an additional two-week vacation, it is issued once a year, but it will not be paid on a par with official vacation pay (TC, article 263).

When the enterprise is liquidated, the man must be employed. When there is an admission to the chosen job, a single father cannot be denied, violate his rights in the personnel department in employment, if such a situation has occurred, the reason should not in any way relate to the current status.

Important! The key conditions that the employer provides to single fathers are presented in articles 259, 261 of the Labor Code.

Maternity leave is also relevant, which a single father can receive - this is due to the need to provide care for his child. If such a child is not one and a half years old, a man can apply directly to the employer with a statement, demand that he be granted leave in connection with the upbringing of the child.

Payment must be due for the entire leave in accordance with applicable laws. They should not refuse when a man has the status of a single father, he is required to sign an appropriate appeal.

Social benefits

Single fathers are guaranteed the same social benefits as single mothers. The man receives separate child benefits. If the wife (the mother of the child) has died, the father receives a special survivor's pension.

Attention. When divorce proceedings take place, child support may be requested from the mother. Collection of funds is carried out within the framework of the law.

Despite the fact that the Maternity Capital program is designed for single mothers, this payment becomes available to both parents who were recognized as single after the birth of two children.

Individual employees of the Fund sometimes denied benefits to single fathers, motivating their decision by the fact that the capital is exclusively “female” in nature. This is a violation of the rights of parents; in the event of a similar situation, it is necessary to immediately contact a higher authority with a statement of infringement.

This circumstance has been corrected, now every single father who raises children without the participation of the mother can get the right to dispose of the federal budget allocated to him.

For reference. The funds allocated to single fathers can be spent on providing their own children with housing, providing them with a guaranteed education and other things necessary for a normal life.

Obtaining an MSC certificate is regulated by regulation No. 256-FZ.

If the mother of the child has died or been deprived of parental rights, the documentary fact of this circumstance will be considered an automatic right to dispose of these funds.

Housing Benefits

You should not count on benefits and privileges in the housing sector, they are not assigned. The only exception is the program in Moscow, under which you can count on compensation for renting an apartment in the established legal amount.

At the regional level, a benefit is provided for improving one's own living conditions, shown for the purpose of carrying out repairs in the apartment.

Attention. If a single father with a child lives in an apartment issued by an enterprise (departmental housing), he will not be able to be evicted even after his dismissal.

tax incentives

A man has every right to further receive a double tax deduction. In the standard case, the deduction is provided at the rate of 1400 rubles per child, a single father can be calculated in the amount of 2800 rubles.

For reference. The provision is regulated by articles 218, 224 of the Tax Code.

Getting the status of "single father"

Officially, the current legislation does not provide for the allocation of the status of a single parent to a separate category. Regardless of this, all men who, in fact, are engaged in the upbringing of their own or adopted children without the participation of a female, are considered as such.

This fact is not affected by the reason why the mother is absent from the family. She may be in prison, which automatically makes such a man a single father.

The absence of status at the official level is considered a real paradox, but social guarantees apply to this category of citizens in full.

For reference. All rights, benefits, accruals are provided in the same volume as for single mothers, which makes fathers completely socially protected and allows them to raise a child in full accordance with his needs and standards.

This became possible thanks to the regulations of the International Labor Convention, which states that the rights of a single father are the same as those of single mothers.

Where to go

To apply for these benefits, a single father needs to contact the department social security of citizens, which is located at the place of residence. You can apply with a similar application to the Pension Fund, as well as to the MFC.

For the recipient of the status, it is necessary to provide the following documents:

  • An application indicating the requirement for the appointment of a certain allowance;
  • Passport, with a residence permit;
  • Notarized copy of the Birth Certificate;
  • Information about the composition of the family;
  • Copy of work book.

What to do if they refuse

If a man - a single father was denied the observance of his rights, he can apply to the social protection authorities, he can file an application with the prosecutor's office and the court.

Important. Before starting actions to overcome the refusal, it is best to coordinate the sequence of actions with an experienced lawyer who is ready to offer all possible assistance in resolving this issue.

According to statistics, at the moment in Russia there is one single father for every 150 single mothers. One can argue about the reasons for this ratio for a long time, but in this article I would like to dwell on the legal status of single fathers, as well as talk about the benefits and payments provided for by law.

Who can be considered a single parent?

As in the case of single mothers, not every dad who independently raises a child has the official status of a single father. So, obtaining the status of a single father is possible if:

  • The mother of the child is deprived of parental rights;
  • The mother is incapacitated due to a severe mental illness or for other reasons;
  • The mother is dead or declared missing.

What allowances and benefits can a single father count on?

In accordance with current family law, a single father is entitled to the same assistance from the state as a single mother. Each region of the Russian Federation provides for its own measures of social support for single parents. Here we cover the main federal benefits and benefits for single fathers:

  • One-time allowance at the birth of a child;
  • Benefit for caring for a child up to 1.5 years:
  • Holiday to care for the child;
  • Compensation of part of the payment for a nursery or kindergarten.

You can find out about regional benefits and benefits in the social security authorities at the place of residence.

Can a single father receive maternity capital?

To date, both mother and father can receive a certificate. This can happen if the father adopted the second child alone, or if the child's mother is deprived of the right to receive maternity capital. If everything is clear with the first point and without explanation, then the second should be discussed in more detail. So, in what cases can a mother be deprived of the right to maternity capital?

  • If the mother has committed a serious intentional crime against any of her children;
  • If the adoption was canceled by a court order.

What documents does a single father need to receive maternity capital?

To receive maternity capital, the father must apply to the Pension Fund with an appropriate application and the following package of documents:

  • Passport;
  • Copy of the passport;
  • SNILS;
  • birth certificates;
  • Documents confirming the father's right to receive maternity capital (mother's death certificate, court decision depriving the mother of parental rights, etc.)

What to do if the father is denied the provision of maternity capital?

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for single fathers to refuse to accept documents for maternity capital. If you are faced with such a situation and you are denied your legal right, you have every right to file a complaint with the social protection authorities or the prosecutor's office.

Many people are afraid of becoming a single mom. Firstly, it's hard - one to raise the child to his feet. Secondly, in our society it is often embarrassing - therefore, many are ready to save a long-destroyed marriage to the last, if only the father was nominally. We listened to the stories of Belarusian women who took a different path and decided to raise their children alone. How do they live and what do they dream about?

“I make a menu for the week in advance and buy only the essentials”

Katerina is 33 years old. Daughters Nastya - 2.2 years.

My failed marriage consisted at times of quarrels and dissatisfaction, and at times of insanely beautiful courtship and compliments every day. Today I'm the best for him, and tomorrow I'm annoying.

When I got pregnant, I happily replaced my active life with a quiet family life. And the husband was drawn to hang out and flirt with other women. This is what caused the break.

Since my ex-husband lives in another country, I do not count on help. He comes every 2-3 months. Buys daughter toys, medicines, helps financially in emergency situations. But most of my help comes from my parents.

I was extremely lucky: my parents live next door. Mom spends time with her daughter and while I work, she often feeds us. If there are any problems in the apartment, dad is always ready with a suitcase of tools. It happened that at 11 pm he came to repair the fallen cornice.

I learned how to allocate a budget and make smart purchases. I make a menu for the week in advance and buy only the essentials. I buy and sell things on sites selling "used" things.

The presence of a dacha also saves me: all winter I eat vegetables from my mother's garden. I earn by working as a hair extension master. I also make personal horoscopes for people. It turned out that hobby can be a great source of income.

I don't remember what it's like to take a shower for 30 minutes

The most difficult thing for a single mom is to be in a state of increased attention 24 hours a day. I don’t remember what it’s like to fall asleep and wake up without ever getting up at night, or what it’s like to take a shower for 30 minutes. Sometimes you need to urgently call a hair supplier, and your daughter needs attention. Have to twist.

But I do not think that a purely female upbringing will lead to some anomalies. Is it better for a child if parents constantly quarrel or hate each other? Even one parent, but adequate! To be honest, I don't like the concept of a single mom. I have my treasure, my joy! So what kind of loner am I?!

In the future, I want to see next to me an active man who takes responsibility for his choice and builds his life himself, and does not go with the flow. But for this, I myself need to become a full-fledged person.

“The child’s father helped financially 5 times…”

Elena is 33 years old. Two daughters - 2.8 years and 5 months.

I lived in my first marriage for 9 years, and I had no children. After the divorce, I met a young man and fell in love. Soon I became pregnant from him. Naturally, there could be no talk of any abortions.

And yes, he seemed happy. He quit his shift work in Russia and began to look for work in Minsk. However, he could not find a permanent place: either he was deceived with a salary, or the schedule was strange, or something else.

In addition, he constantly disappeared with friends, he could “go away into the unknown” for a week. We lived almost all of my pregnancy at my expense, and after giving birth, we lived only on maternity money and with the help of my mother and brother. In the end, we broke up.

I sat with my daughter during the day and worked at night

I quickly pulled myself together, as I understood that I needed to look for a part-time job. Almost all the maternity money was spent only on diapers, food and medicine. And I had to somehow pay for the apartment and eat.

I found a part-time job at home at the computer. She spent the day with her daughter and worked at night. And although there was not much money, they just saved me.

Thanks to my mother, who could sit with her daughter, I found another job for the weekend. I was even able to take my child to a developmental center. The child's father helped financially 5 times, but I'm glad for that too.

We met the father of our youngest daughter at my part-time job. He is very responsible and attentive. He fell in love with his eldest daughter, showered her with gifts, went for a walk with her. We dated for six months and I got pregnant again. But until we live together, and I don't know if we will.

I can’t say anything bad about him, he is a man that many women dream of. He helps a lot: with food, money, and tries to visit us more often. But the money is still not enough. Especially a lot is spent on sports, doctors and various examinations: either the older neurologist, the younger orthopedist, or massage, or the pool; to dance.

Others believe that I did the right thing with the father of the first child, because. At home there was a "sick" situation. But in relation to the father of the second child, everyone condemns - they say, I am “mad with fat” and I make it worse for both daughters. Many feel sorry for the girls, they say that a father is needed for proper upbringing. I agree that one female upbringing of children is not enough.

“Having received a salary and alimony, I put everything in envelopes”

Yulia is 30 years old, she is raising her son, who is 4.6 years old.

I got divorced recently. Just one day I realized that I was tired of quarrels and showdown with my husband. And I decided that it was better to let go of "not my person."

At first, everyone felt sorry for me: “Oh, how you are alone, it's difficult ...” And I will say this: when mom is alone, mom is a superhero. After the divorce, I had more strength and energy. I can easily go to bed very late and get up very early. My character has become more solid, and I am more confident in my abilities. I want to be an example for a child so that he can proudly say: "This is my mother!".

Having received a salary and alimony, I put everything in envelopes: for household issues, housing and communal services, a garden, mugs, for clothes for a child and for myself. There is also an inviolable envelope in which money is in reserve.

You can live on any money

The main thing is to correctly allocate your budget. At the beginning of the month I always make a list of what I need, and I go to the store strictly according to the list. To lack money, thank God, this was not the case. I have a main job and a side job. And I also study at the correspondence department at the same time.

The ex-husband has not forgotten us: he visits his son, brings treats and takes his son for the weekend. If I need to go somewhere on business, maybe I can sit with the child.

I am a strict mom, but sometimes I arrange days when a lot is allowed: sweets, cartoons and going to the movies or entertainment centers together. I am not afraid of the so-called "women's education". A child in a complete family can grow up to be a bad person.

I don't consider us an incomplete family. Mom and child are already a family... Women's upbringing teaches to be a man, not to hide your feelings, to be gentle, kind. But without a man, to be honest, it's not easy. Mom can do a lot, but she won’t teach you how to play football, she won’t tell you how to shave properly ...

Tatiana Nekrashevich

The status of a single mother is a fairly common occurrence in the Russian Federation. There can be many reasons for this. But in fact, women raise a child on their own, without the support of the baby's biological father, so they are supported by the state.

Getting a status

Providing for a child is a fairly significant financial item in every parent's wallet. He needs to be dressed, fed and educated. To provide for the child, the government allows you to receive benefits through which you can purchase the necessary goods.

Not all citizens have the right to receive from the state.

Many mistakenly think that since they are raising a baby on their own, they are entitled to cash benefits. No, it is allowed only to those who confirm theirs according to the law.

To be provided at the expense of the state, a woman will first have to obtain legal status. But for this she must have strong arguments and conditions.

Foundations

All conditions are prescribed in the current legislation:

  • An unmarried woman gave birth to a baby, there is no documentation regarding paternity. There is a dash in the father's column or the father is recorded according to the mother's words.
  • The child was born during the marriage or after it within 300 days, but the father proved his innocence to this baby.
  • When adopting a child, being alone.

The status cannot be assigned to women:

  • After the divorce proceedings, when the former spouse does not fulfill his obligations.
  • If no more than 300 days have passed since the divorce before the baby was born, the same concept is present after the death of the husband. In such situations, the spouse is recognized as the father, even if he does not live near the former family. Upon death, a survivor's allowance is paid.
  • The woman is out of wedlock, but paternity is established through the court or voluntarily. There is an opportunity to prove, even if he does not live together with them.
  • A woman whose husband was deprived of parental rights.

Normative base

Several laws regulate the issue:

  • dated May 19, 1995 on benefits to citizens in this status.
  • Article 6 regulates the question of who exactly is entitled to receive maternity benefits.
  • Article 7 regulates the time period for receiving benefits.
  • Article 8 regulates the amount of the benefit.
  • Article 9 regulates who exactly is entitled to receive benefits and allowances of a one-time nature.
  • Article 11 regulates the allowance when a baby is born.
  • Article 12 regulates the issue of the amount of benefits.
  • Article 13 regulates the issue of citizens who are entitled to receive child care allowance.
  • Article 14 stipulates the payment period.

How to become a single mother after divorce?

Many want to know if it is possible to become a single mother after a divorce in 2019. The fact of marriage is not a cardinal reason for rejecting an application for benefits.

Single mothers receive higher rates in the following payment categories:

  • monthly allowance for caring for a baby up to three years;

  • additional financial support in the amount of 500 rubles for children under the age of majority;
  • state assistance in the form of 4,500 rubles monthly to citizens who have children aged 1.5–3 years.
