The paper is devoted to the analysis of the place and role of individual legal acts of the courts of general jurisdiction of the Russian Federation in the mechanism of legal regulation of property relations of spouses. The legal provisions developed by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on the following issues are considered and evaluated. They are as follows: on the ownership of objects acquired during the marriage by one of the spouses on the basis of an act of a state or municipal authority; challenging transactions on the disposal of real estate, committed by one of the spouses in the absence of a notarial consent of the other spouse; transfer of an indivisible property to the ownership of one of the spouses in the process of dividing common property; the possibility of derogating from the principle of equality of the shares of spouses in the right to their common property based on the interests of their minor children, as well as the interests of one of the spouses. In general, it is concluded that the legal provisions developed in the individual legal acts of the courts of general jurisdiction are not aimed at creating new legal norms, but at interpreting and clarifying the current legislation, as well as at eliminating contradictions in it. The legal provisions contained in the individual legal acts of the courts, unlike all other legal provisions, are the least static, which is expressed in a relatively quick change in the position of the highest judicial body on the same controversial issue.
