However, there are cases, especially after divorce, when one parent excludes the other parent from the decision-making process regarding important issues or even from the child’s life, as the child is unable to have personal ties with the child. Disputes regarding parental authority are resolved by the court, and when the established measures regarding the custody of the minor are not observed, the criminal law is incidental, which stipulates the conditions in which the deed constitutes a crime. From the practice of the courts, it results that there are situations in which the possibility of retaining the crime provided by art. 379 para.

At the same time, cases were identified in which the courts considered it necessary to be sentenced to imprisonment or assessed the need to apply the additional penalty of prohibition of parental rights or the obligation to pay civil damages.
