Constitutional Court of Montenegro suspends mother and child's eviction
The Constitutional Court of Montenegro has issued a temporary stay on the eviction of a mother and her minor child from their residence. The apartment was subject to a final judgment in a marital property division dispute, which awarded ownership to the child's father.
In its decision, the Court emphasized the importance of the child's best interests, citing medical records and psychological evaluations. These documents suggest that a sudden change in living environment and the resulting stress could cause serious and irreparable harm to the child's physical and mental health.
The Court noted that while a revision process is still pending before the Supreme Court of Montenegro, proceeding with the eviction during this period could render the protection of the child's rights 'theoretical and illusory.' The stay will remain in place until a final ruling is reached on the constitutional appeal.
