Under the jurisdictional form of protection of interests in family law means e activity of the bodies authorized by the state on protection of family rights and interests of participants of family relations. The bodies that provide such protection include: the court, guardianship authorities, notary and prosecutor. The universality of the judicial form of protection of interests in family law is substantiated. At the same time, an approach has been adopted, according to which not only the violated interest is subject to protection, but also such an interest, which has not been violated at the time of protection in order to prevent violation. A non-jurisdictional form of protection of family interests is a factual action that a subject of family law commits to protect his or her own interest or the interest of another person without recourse to the relevant jurisdictions. Results. The author singles out two ways of exercising the right to self-defense of interest in family law: 1) self-defense of one's interest; 2) self-defense of another person's interest.

Child Sponsorship

Abstract in English: In the article 46, the Algerian Family Code stipulates the following: "Adoption is prohibited by both the Sharia and Law". Therefore, it is clearly understood that the interdiction of adoption doesn’t contradict the Islamic law (Sharia). But due - on one hand - to the confusion in Algerian society with regard to the conception of adoption with all its consequences, and on the other hand the difficult situation of many abandoned children and the suffering of many families who are not blessed with the fertility or the capacity of reproduction, the Algerian legislature has been forced to find solutions to such difficult cases. Therefore, a child support legislation (guardianship or sponsorship) has been established under the following Articles 116 and 125 of the Family Code. The study was based on the Algerian laws on the issue of the termination of child sponsorship and applied by the Algerian judiciary. The problem of the study is to know the cases of termination of child sponsorship in the Algerian family law, and the position of the Algerian judiciary on this issue. This study aims to mention the cases in which the sponsorship of the child ends in the Algerian family law, and to discuss some of the Algerian judicial decisions issued by the Supreme Court, related to the subject of the study in question. The study relied on the analytical method, in order to analyze legal texts and discuss judicial decisions. The study concluded that the Algerian family law stipulated some cases in which the sponsorship of the child ends, and neglected to mention other cases.   Abstract in Arabic: لقد نص المشرع الجزائري في المادة 46 من قانون  الأسرة على  ما يلي: "يمنع التبني شرعا وقانونا".يتضح من تحليل هذه المادة أن المشرع منع الآخذ بنظام التبني تماشياً مع أحكام الشريعة الإسلامية. لكنه، ونظرا للمشاكل المترتبة على قضية التبني في المجتمع الجزائري من أخذ وردو كذلك بالنسبة للوضعية الصعبة لبعض الأطفال المهملين، وكذا معاناة بعض الأسر التي لا تنعم بالإنجاب، التجأ المشرع الجزائري إلى حل يتجلى في الكفالة، فنظم أحكامها في المواد من 116 إلى 125 من قانون الأسرة. استندت الدراسة إلى القوانين الجزائرية الخاصة بموضوع انتهاء كفالة الطفل والمطبقة  من طرف القضاء الجزائري. تتمثل إشكالية الدراسة في معرفة حالات انتهاء كفالة الطفل في قانون الأسرة الجزائري، وموقف القضاء الجزائري من هذه المسألة. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى ذكر الحالات التي تنتهي بها كفالة الطفل في قانون الأسرة الجزائري،ومناقشة بعض القرارات القضائية الجزائرية الصادرة عن المحكمة العليا،والمتعلقة بموضوع الدراسة محل البحث. لقد اعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج التحليلي، وذلك من أجل  تحليل النصوص القانونية ومناقشة القرارات القضائية. لقد توصلت الدراسة إلى أن  قانون الأسرة الجزائري نص على بعض الحالات التي تنتهي بها كفالة الطفل،وأغفل عن ذكر الحالات الأخرى

The article examines the features of subjects of family law. As a result of the analysis, the conclusion that family legal relations can arise exclusively between individuals was further confirmed. Various proposals of scientists to expand the range of participants in family legal relations were analyzed, in particular, by including a surrogate mother there. It has been established that the Family Code of Ukraine regulates legal relations with the participation of such entities, which do not directly apply to participants in family legal relations. Among them it is possible to call the actual tutors and pupils, the actual spouses, the former spouses, the guardian, the tutor, other subjects where the orphan children and children deprived of parental guardianship are placed. The rationale for establishing in the Family Code a circle of persons whose relations are not regulated by the Code, but are governed by moral and ethical standards, is justified. The study of the subject of family law departs from the traditional doctrinal approach, according to which he is analyzed from the point of view of his legal capacity. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the person of the individual, and in fairly atypical cases. In this regard, a special detailed analysis of the following situations (phenomena) has been carried out: the sex of an individual and the change (correction) of gender; the problem of determining the number of natural persons (if they are twins) and the specificity of their participation in family legal relations; the possibility of recognizing a single individual as a subject of family law; the legal status of the deceased person subject to cryopreservation and the prospect of his legal status. It is established that it is for family law that the sex of an individual (female or male) is very important. Accordingly, the change in gender has very serious consequences for the participants in this relationship. It is justified that their lack of adequate legal regulation is a negative phenomenon. It is proposed to provide in the legislation with a provision according to which changing the sex of one of the spouses is the reason for the termination of the marriage. It has been established that a single person cannot be considered a subject of family legal relations. A detailed analysis of the existing experience of the life of Siamese (united) twins allows us to summarize that there are no and apparently cannot be unified approaches to recognizing their legal personality. Certain problematic issues of marriage and parental legal relations of Siamese twins are considered. A general analysis of the current situation regarding the capabilities of cryonics to preserve the human body (its parts) has been carried out. It has been established that these relationships are gaining popularity, which requires the search for solutions to the legal consequences of thawing such persons, including family legal consequences. During the preparation of the article, the experience of foreign countries and historical experience in the field of family and other related legal relations were actively investigated. Keywords: individual, subject (participant) of family legal relations, change (correction) of a person’s gender, legal personality of Siamese (united twins), a single individual, cryopreservation of the body (brain) of an individual.

Abstract The article examines child protection when travelling abroad with only one parent or someone who is not a parent or a guardian set by national and EU legislation. It analyzes cases when one of the parents does not allow their child to travel abroad with the other one. Methods of protecting the children’s best interests, as well as introducing the substitute consent have been presented. The development of the European Union’s legislation and case-law on the subject are scrutinized. The study also covers the national legislation of the Republic of Bulgaria in the field of protecting the child’s interests. The preconditions that have led to the legislative initiative on the adoption of Art. 127a of the Family Code referring to the court’s consent to a child travelling abroad with only one of the parents are analyzed. Next, there are prerequisites leading to the adoption of the Interpretative Decision No 1 of 03.07.2017 at a General Meeting of the Civil Division of the Supreme Court of Cassation of the Republic of Bulgaria, which develops the framework in the field of granting a court permit for child’s travelling. What is examined are the exact interests of the child that should be protected when the court gives the consent substituting the parental one. The case-law of the subject is followed in order to maximize its improvement in the protection of the rights and interests of the children living with one of their parents.

Abstract The paper provides the results of the analysis of the current state of legal regulation of family relations in Ukraine, and summarises the main problems of the legislation that establishes general principles of regulation of family relations. Particular attention is devoted to the research into the basic principles of family law, and how they are reflected in the Constitution of Ukraine and the Family Code of Ukraine. To assess the compliance of the Family Code of Ukraine with current societal developments, a careful comparison of its provisions with the principles developed by the Commission on European Family Law (cefl) is needed. The family legislation of Ukraine requires detailed monitoring, factoring in the provisions of a questionnaire developed by the Commission. There is a need to introduce a system of national planning, development and adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the concept of national legal policy.

The scientific article analyzes the issue of marriage age of a person under the legislation of Ukraine. The historical retrospective of this issue and the experience of legal regulation of other countries are also explored. It is noted that the marriage age in all states is approximately the same. Although in some countries, as a whole, no minimum age is required for a marriage union. Marriage must be reached on the day the marriage is registered, which means that a person who has not yet reached the marital age but can reach it no later than one month after the date of application. Family law provides for the possibility of granting the right to marriage to a person who is not yet married. Marriage to a person under the age of 18 is a matter for the court. According to the law, the limit to which the marriage age can be clearly set, but the specified norm of family law does not even contain an approximate list of exceptional cases, which is the basis for granting the right to marriage to a person who has not reached the age of marriage. It is proposed to make provision in Article 23 of the Family Code of Ukraine, which would provide an approximate list of reasons why persons may marry before they reach the marriageable age, namely: birth of a child, pregnancy, cohabitation, serious illness, and any other circumstances that justify and make expeditious marriage expedient. Parental consent is not required to resolve the issue of reducing the age of marriage. However, their position on the matter should be clarified in the lawsuit. Parents' opinion may help to establish the true circumstances of the case and to determine whether the granting of this right is in the interests of the minor, since this is the main criterion for satisfying the application for the right to marry.

Issues of foster care over children have repeatedly been the subject of scientific research. However, both in theory and in practice, there are still many urgent issues that arise from the placement of children in the family of a foster parent. Therefore, it seems necessary to investigate whether changes in the legal regulation of foster care relations have led to improvements in the best interests of children, their special protection and aid. The purpose of this paper was to identify gaps and conflicts in the legal regulation of foster care over children in Ukraine, to identify ways to optimize national legislation in the respective context. Considering the purpose, the research methodology involves general scientific and special methods of cognition of legal phenomena. As a result of the study, it was argued that the legislation, It should, considering the interests of children (parents or their legal representatives) who found themselves in difficult life circumstances, provide for a simplified version of their temporary placement in families not only of foster carers, but also of persons close to them (their families). Furthermore, it is appropriate not to limit the period of stay of the child in the family of a foster parent to three (in some cases – six) months. It should be determined by the guardianship authority depending on the specific circumstances that necessitated such placement of the child. When setting the limits of the foster parent's authority to represent the interests of the child transferred to them, it should be borne in mind that the relevant activity is not a type of legal representation, but is carried out under an agreement. To ensure a unambiguous interpretation of the provisions of the institution of foster care and their application in practice, it is advisable to eliminate contradictions between individual rules of law, to fill gaps in the legislative regulation of foster care relations.

The aim of the article is to analyze the paternity as a component of the institution of the family, its modern transformations and the resulting challenges, including modern features of parenthood. The authors show that the modern understanding of paternity is determined by gender identity and social constructs that equalize the rights of all persons who act as guardians of the child. The authors determine that the problem of paternity involves not only civil issues, but also family and in-ternational law. The authors of the article clearly show that paternity can act not only as a voluntary, conscious act, but also as a mandatory legal norm. In particu-lar, the authors note that it is possible to use the method of establishing paternity or delegating part of the authority to raise a child in the context of considering public law and its prevalence over family law. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that the importance of establishing the principles, as well as the legal conditions for implementing the functions of paternity, will form not only legal but also social forms and even economic parameters for citi-zens and address issues of ensuring human rights, including the rights of the child.

Despite the existence of an article in modern Russian legislation on the legal status of minor parents, many legal issues related to the implementation and protection of the rights, duties, interests of a minor parent and his child remained outside family legal regulation, which exacerbates the already difficult problem of legal protection of early parenthood. Moreover, the provisions of Article 62 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation are very inharmoniously combined with the rules of guardianship of minors. The aim of the work is to analyze the legislation on the legal status of minor parents and guardians, to identify the legal characteristics of the care of a child of minor parents. The author concludes that the features of the care of a child of minor parents, in addition to the age of one or both parents, in the case of the appointment of a guardian include: a combination of parenthood and guardianship; unequal opportunities for the care of a child by a minor parent who is not able to independently provide care, and by the legal representative of the child of the minor parent; special (additional) grounds for terminating guardianship of a child of minor parents; the need for the guardian to live together not only with the child in care, but also with his parent. The norms of paragraph 2 of article 62 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation and paragraph 2 of article 29 of the Federal law «On Guardianship and Custodianship» should be adjusted. It is proposed to introduce special rules for the selection of the guardian of a child of a minor parent, which would properly ensure the right of the minor parent to live together with the child.
