Parents leaving Romania for work must notify social services at least 40 days in advance to avoid fines. Failure to comply can result in fines between 500 and 1000 lei. The law applies to both parents leaving together or separately, single custodial parents, and those with shared custody where the child resides with the departing parent. The notification must include the name of the person responsible for the child's care during the parents' absence, who must be a relative or close friend with a minimum age of 18 and suitable conditions for child care.
