The Reform of Family Law: Russian Federation Family Code Structure Improvement and the Legal Regulation of Individual Matrimonial Relations

Abstract

The development of modern family legislation has led to an increased interest in the study of separate institutions within the framework of family law, as well as to the study of the family law legislation in general taking into account the main tendencies in its development. We believe that improving the legal regulation of family relations should be based on a scientifically sound system of legislation. The article formulates some proposals to amend and supplement the existing matrimonial legislation. Unfortunately, it must be noted that many family law rules are not only ineffective, but they also fall foul with the concept of uniformity of legal regulation of relations arising from marriage and family affiliation.
