About this statute

This preamble identifies Law 2388 of 2024 as a statute about foster family arrangements. This article says the law’s purpose is to define the foster family, set out its nature and proof methods, and recognize rights and obligations among its members. This article defines several “crianza” family relationships and says some of them require at least five years of continuous care or coexistence; recognition can also be obtained through a judicial decision or public deed. The foster-child recognition declaration is handled by a family judge, must be recorded in the civil registry after the recognition becomes final, and the competent family authority must make periodic visits for six months after final judgment. Adds a matter to voluntary jurisdiction procedure: the declaration of recognition of a child, unless another rule provides otherwise.
