PRINCIPLES OF FAMILY LAW AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR FAMILY POLICY

Abstract

The aim of the article is to substantiate the systemic significance of the principles of Family Law in its improvement. The study focuses on possible forms of legal support for the implementation of the program provisions of the Concept of the State Family Policy of the Russian Federation. The analysis of state expectations in the field of legal protection of the family allowed the author to identify specific solutions to existing problems of legal regulation both at the level of creating (re-creating) the family and in the context of the implementation of certain family rights and obligations. In this case, the basis of judgments is the understanding of members’ individual interests as family interests. In accordance with the Concept, an assessment is given of some useful models of other countries’ family policies aimed at reforming the spheres of legal regulation related to Family Law. The practical value of the study lies in developing modern understanding of the principles of Family Law, which can assist lawmakers in producing new legal standards. The author concludes that being a systemic entity, family legislation can adopt only those matters that do not contradict its systemic nature.
