Rola i zadania organów pomocniczych sądu rodzinnego

Abstract

The subject of the considerations contained in the article are the auxiliary bodies of the family court: family probation officers and opinion-giving teams of court specialists. The discussed institutions were shown in the perspective of the dynamically changing social reality and the situation of the family, emphasizing their importance in the context of the tasks of the justice system carried out by the family judiciary. The authors of the paper positively evaluate the postulated changes in the status of family probation officers as the body of executive proceedings, with the specification of its tasks. They consider the postulates of probation officers regarding the creation of more appropriate organizational conditions in order to focus on the more effective implementation of their respective tasks as accurate and worthy of support. In the context of individual tasks of family probation officers, it is necessary to emphasize, according to the authors of the article, the importance of evidence from the community interview. The postulate of a more complete use of this evidence in divorce cases was formulated years ago by the co-author of this study - as a result of her research - and still remains valid. In the opinion of the authors of the article, the changes concerning opinion-making teams of forensic specialists should also be assessed positively, including in particular those related to the standards of issuing opinions and the practice developed in this area.
