LEGAL PROTECTION OF THE INTERESTS OF THE CHILD (MEMORY OF A. M. NECHAEVA)

Abstract

The article offers an analysis of the scientific heritage of Professor A. M. Nechaeva on the issues of legal protection of the interests of the child in the domestic law. We study her understanding of the interests of the child, their importance in the system of social ties, the methods of legal recognition, provision and protection of the said interests. The influence of international integration processes in the system of relations for the protection of the interests of the child is noted. An assessment is made of possible options for legal protection of the interests of the child within the framework of an integrated intersectoral approach. At the same time, specific mechanisms for the operation of law are proposed, in particular, the use of legal presumptions. Among the considered aspects of the legal protection of the interests of the child, the discussion points of the independence of the legal status of the child and its implementation outside are highlighted, including in the context of the realization of the rights of parents. A separate place is given to the problem of state care for homeless children, the search for solutions to problems of legal protection of their interests. The accent is placed on the place of the child’s interests in the family. Particular attention is paid to the problem of priority protection of the interests of the child. At the same time, a provision is adopted as a basis in which any private interests in family law are considered exclusively as family interests.
