Parents (or a parent) of a minor have parental rights for the best interest of the minor child.
Parental rights in Japanese Law include property rights as an agency for the minor. Parents of a minor ought to exercise their property rights for the best interest of the minor. They don't have a right to reduce the property of their minor child. Even if they make a contract to give their minor's property to another, such a contract should have no legal effect. Because they don't have that right.
Parents of a minor have a right in relation to custody for the best interest of the minor. They ought to take custody for the best interest of their minor child. Also,they ought to exercise this right in medical custody for the best interest of the child.
