Article 396 of the French Civil Code

Any tutelary office may be withdrawn because of the unfitness, negligence, misconduct or fraud of the person to whom it has been entrusted. The same applies where a dispute or conflict of interests prevents the holder of the office from exercising it in the interests of the minor.

Any person to whom a tutelary office has been entrusted may be replaced in the event of a significant change in his situation.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 396

Toute charge tutélaire peut être retirée en raison de l’inaptitude, de la négligence, de l’inconduite ou de la fraude de celui à qui elle a été confiée. Il en est de même lorsqu’un litige ou une contradiction d’intérêts empêche le titulaire de la charge de l’exercer dans l’intérêt du mineur.

Il peut être procédé au remplacement de toute personne à qui une charge tutélaire a été confiée en cas de changement important dans sa situation.
