This article explains why a consensus emerged in the 1950s that courts should be satisfied with the arrangements made for children before parental divorce was granted. I locate this within an evolving child welfare landscape in the context of high levels of divorce in England. The issues at stake were the relationship of child welfare to parental marital status, how this should be established in individual cases, and the legitimacy and boundaries of state intervention in divorce cases. Such developments were absent in Scotland, where the Scottish judiciary believed in upholding the autonomy of parents to make their own arrangements.

In order to better understand the phenomenon of the quality of different types of close relationships of adults, we have investigated several determinants which define them more clearly. We focused on the relational differences of the respondents according to several sociodemographic (age, gender, employment, marital status and children) and environmental factors (structure and relationships in the family). A total of 400 males and females, ranging from 19 to 51 years, completed a general questionnaire. It collected the data related to sociodemographic and environmental characteristics, as well as the Social Relations Network Inventory (NRI), which assessed the quality of five types of close relationships. The results indicate significant differences between the respondents in the quality of individual close relationships, based on the factors of age, gender, employment, marital status and parenthood, as well as according to the factors of the quality of family relations and parental marital status. The identified differences are particularly pronounced in terms of the quality of the relationship with the mother and the quality of the relationship with the friend, which is explained by the characteristic nature of these relationships, as well as the developmental roles and tasks of the adulthood.

Исследуются особенности семейного состояния, брачности и разводимости населения Север- ной Осетии. Выявлены тенденции изменений показателей за последние 60 лет, а также географические различия внутри Северной Осетии. Даются рекомендации по оптимизации ситуации. Существенное снижение рождаемости и повышение смертности в 90-х годах ХХ в. весьма негативно сказались на уровне брачности и разводимости. В Северной Осетии и в предыдущие годы низкий уровень брачности сочетался с высокими показателями разводимости. После 1990-х гг. ситуация еще более усугубилась. Многие из тех, кто пропустил свой «брачный возраст», одиноки до сих пор. Брачно-семейные отношения весьма чувствительны к социально-экономическим условиям. Повышение уровня жизни населения привело к стабилизации показателей брачности и разводимости, но новый экономический кризис привел и к новому витку снижения брачности и повышения разводимости. Каждый второй брак в настоящее время распадается. На снижение брачности оказывают влияние два обстоятельства: 1) продолжающийся экономический кризис; 2) в брачный возраст вступает малочисленное поколение, родившееся в 1990-х гг. Снижение брачности и увеличение разводимости ведет к новому витку падения рождаемости. В связи с этим необходимо срочно предпринимать конкретные действия, направленные на улучшение демографической ситуации. The peculiarities of marital status, marriage and divorce rates of the population in North Ossetia are investigated. The trends of changes in indicators over the past 60 years, as well as geographical differences within North Ossetia have been revealed. Recommendations to optimize the situation are given. Demographic downfall in the 1990s had the most negative impact on the level of marriages and divorces. A low level of nuptiality in North Ossetia was combined with a high level of divorce. A signifi cant number of people who «missed» their marriage age are still single. The improvement of the social and economic life conditions has had a positive impact on the marital status of the population. In the Republic, the marriage rate has increased and the divorce rate has decreased, so the divorce index and the number of divorces per 1000 marriages have been reduced. In recent times, however, there has been a trend to decrease the number of marriages and to increase the number of divorces. Currently every second marriage breaks up in the region. There is a signifi cant territorial differentiation in terms of marriage and divorce rates. In urban settlements both mariage and divorce rates were signifi cantly higher than in rural areas. The most favorable situation is observed in the Ardon and Kirov districts. The worst situation is in the Mozdok district. There has been a transition from complex families to simple ones in the Republic. In the mid-2010s a small number of people born in the early 1990’s began to reach marriageable age, and this can lead to an even more catastrophic demographic situation, or more precisely to a further collapse of the birth rate. In this regard, it is urgent to take concrete actions to improve the demographic situation.
