Does the restriction of legal capacity help now?

The harms of alcohol abuse are frequently and extensively warned against. The damage caused to the human body by constant consumption of alcoholic beverages is difficult to measure due to the individual characteristics of each organism. However, the harm inflicted on the family is much more evident.

The absence of proper parental involvement in child-rearing, constant quarrels, infliction of bodily harm, and moral suffering are all constant companions of chronic alcoholism. Such an individual does not participate in bearing family expenses and often manages to remove valuables from the home for sale to purchase alcohol with the proceeds.

In order to protect the rights of individuals living with such an alcoholic, and to ensure preventive measures are taken alongside other methods, current legislation provides for the possibility of restricting an individual's legal capacity. In such cases, all monetary funds received by the person abusing alcohol are received by other members of his family.

There are also positive examples in the district where the application of such a measure, among other things, has contributed to the complete sobriety of an individual who previously systematically consumed alcoholic beverages. Thus, the prosecutor's office of the Rossony district filed an application with the district court to revoke the decision to restrict the legal capacity of citizen A. The latter was restricted in his legal capacity by a decision of the Rossony district court due to his abuse of alcoholic beverages, his non-participation in bearing joint expenses, and his placing the family in a difficult financial situation. Several years after the restriction, A. completely renounced all types of alcoholic beverages, which not only improved his health but also normalized family relationships.

During the court hearing, the fact that the need for this preventive measure had ceased to exist was confirmed, and therefore the district prosecutor's application in the interests of A. was granted, and he was restored to his civil rights.

Therefore, if someone living with you abuses alcohol, spends their salary solely on their own needs, and does not participate in bearing common expenses, you have the right to restrict their legal capacity.
