On Imperfection of Family Laws of the Russian Federation

In: State power and local self-government, Band 12, S. 10-16

Abstract

The article is devoted to the substantiation of the need to improve the family legislation of the Russian Federation due to the lack of legal norms that clearly regulate modern forms and problems of marriage and family practices, as well as due to the contradictions existing in Russian family law. Life dynamics, a variety of life realities, value transformations are not "covered" by the current legal field: many conflict and controversial situations of modern marriage and family relations remain outside the legal regulation. This fact indicates the lag of law from life itself.
