Legal protection of the rights of the child as part of the process of parental divorcing: psychological aspects

Abstract

Legal protection of the interests of the child in the process of parental divorcing includes resolution to some internal conflicts, when parents are not able to come to a common agreement and maintain a favorable psychological atmosphere for their child. The problems of psychological and legal protection of children attract scientific interest, since the state guarantees the implementation of the property rights of children, but the issues of emotional and psychological support do not receive due attention. The study uses general scientific methods of empirical and theoretical analysis (synthesis and generalisation, description and assessment), specific and practical methods (comparison of current data, description of results, prediction method and practical modelling). To summarize the conclusions, results processing methods are used, as well as specialized methods of structural and functional analysis. Parental divorcing means a crisis of legal, moral, and psychological stability for the child. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the ways of legal protection and psychological support for the child in the divorce process. Analysing modern researches, regulatory documents, and international standards for supporting family values and protecting the interests of the child, the question that arises is relevant to the practical implementation of mediation services aimed at identifying the optimal system for parental. Authority regulation and educational development, as well as personal support for the child during the parental divorce. Research reveals the imperfection of the legal and judicial system aimed at identifying particular ways of psychological and legal protection of the child. The theoretical significance of the study deals with the discovery of the connection between psychological and legal problems related to child support. The practical importance of the work is to peacefully resolve divorce conflicts.
