Dissolution of the adoption is possible only by court revocation of the adoption license or by annulment by the court. The grounds on which revocation or annulment is possible are specified by law.
Adoption approval may be revoked for particularly serious reasons. For example, it may be revoked ex officio or at the request of one party to the contract if the adoption was carried out by more than one person who were not married, or if the adopted child was not capable of making a decision and concluded the adoption contract himself. However, revocation upon application is also possible if the adoption contract was not concluded in writing and more than five years have not already passed. The revocation of the approval has retroactive effect.
Annulment does not have retroactive effect. It may be effected, for example, on application if the declaration of a party to the contract or the consent of a person entitled to consent was induced by deceit or fear. Annulment is also possible ex officio, in the event of danger to the welfare of the minor or child who is not capable of making a decision.
