Abstract
The article has analyzed the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on family disputes that involve property issues, revealed features of implementation of functions of the highest court in this field. First, it is stated that the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation reviews decisions of lower courts mainly in cases where the application of family law rules is contradictory and unsettled. It is necessary to fill in a gap in family law, to resolve conflicts between certain legal norms, to choose between several possible interpretations of the law. Second, the judicial panels of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, making a determination on a particular case, clarify the meaning of legal norms, and sometimes under the guise of interpretation in fact correct ill-considered or outdated norms of family law. Third, the High Court reviews cases where there is a typical and widespread error in the application of a very clear and defined rule. Fourth, in individual legal acts it is possible to observe the concretization or change of the previously designated legal stances while maintaining the legislative rules in the same form. Using certain examples of cases considered by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on family disputes concerning property, the paper has demonstrated the mechanism of possible transformation of abstract, non-personified and doctrinally oriented provisions contained in the definitions of judicial boards of the Supreme Court to general legal regulators. The author has determined certain problems of legal regulation of property relations in the family that have not been settled by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

Summary
Во-первых, констатируется, что Верховный Суд РФ пересматривает решения нижестоящих судов главным образом в случаях, когда практика применения семейного законодательства противоречива, требуется восполнить существующий в семейном законе пробел, разрешить коллизию отдельных правовых норм, сделать выбор между несколькими возможными интерпретациями закона. Во-вторых, судебные коллегии Верховного Суда РФ, вынося определение по конкретному делу, уточняют смысл правовых норм, а иногда под видом толкования фактически исправляют неудачные или устаревшие нормы семейного закона.
