Legal procedures for severing the relationship between father and son
Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
Article 114 The adopter shall not dissolve the adoptive relationship before the adoptee reaches adulthood, unless the adopter and the adopter agree to dissolve it. If the adopted child reaches the age of eight, the consent of the adoptee shall be obtained. If the adopter fails to perform the obligation of raising, maltreatment, abandonment and other acts infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of the minor adopted child, the adopter has the right to demand the dissolution of the adoptive relationship between the adoptive parents and the adopted child. If the adopter and the adopter cannot reach an agreement on the dissolution of the adoption relationship, they may bring a lawsuit to the people's court.
Article 115 If the relationship between adoptive parents and adult adopted children deteriorates and they cannot live together, the adoptive relationship may be dissolved by agreement. If negotiation fails, a lawsuit may be brought to the people's court.
