General characteristics of marital and family legal relations and their termination under the legislation of Ukraine

Abstract

The family is the oldest mechanism on earth, and it occupies an important place in human society. Throughout human history, strong families have been a guarantee of stability in society.
 Getting used to family life is not an easy process, conflict situations arise in it. However, all these «pitfalls» can be overcome with the joint desire of the spouses, and in the worst case, the marriage can be terminated during the life of the spouses by breaking it off (divorce). The destruction of the family has always been associated with the socio-legal problems of divorce. They were interesting for society, provided material for research in the field of law and sociology for the development of measures that would prevent the disintegration of the family.
 Marriage is a union of a man and a woman, which is entered into for the formation of a family, joint life, the birth and upbringing of children, which is not limited to any term. And indeed, the intentions of the bride and groom do not contain temporary conditions, they have a permanent character. At the same time, both the legislation and the practice of family life provide for the possibility of termination of marriage, and they implement it quite often.
 The marital union is based on voluntary principles. And in the event that in the course of married life it becomes clear that the further preservation of the family is not possible and the continuation of the marriage will harm the spouses and children, then divorce becomes quite natural.
 Divorce is not mandatory, but possible, the kind that destroys marriage as a union - the result of the unsuccessful development of marital and family relations. As a rule, a divorce is only a formalization of the results of a marriage breakdown. The problem of divorce is a social and legal problem, which consists in determining the reasons, conditions under which a marriage can be dissolved, the signs necessary for the dissolution of a marriage in the bodies of the DRATS, the grounds sufficient for the court, the rules of its proceedings, in determining the consequences of divorce for the spouses , children and other persons. Marriage is terminated by divorce, that is, all marital relations between a man and a woman are severed, but for a long time a number of ties remain between them, as a rule, moral, and often also material, property.
