Résumé This Law regulates the following matters: marriage and relationships in marriage, relationships between parents and children, adoption, placement in family (fostering), custody, support, property relationships in the family and actions of authorized bodies with regard to marriage and family relationships. Marriage is based on a free decision of a man and a woman to enter into marriage, on their equality, mutual respect and mutual assistance. Relationships between parents and children are based on their mutual rights and duties, especially that of parents to take care of their children’s rights and welfare protection and their responsibility to bring up, educate and train children for independent life, and that of children to take care of their parents and to respect them. Property relationships in the family are based on the principles of equality, reciprocity and solidarity, as well as on the protection of interests of children. A community for living of a man and a woman lasting longer is equaled with marital community with regard to the right to mutual support and other property-legal relationships.
