Legally Relevant Communications in Family Law Relations: on Cross-Sectoral Interaction

Abstract

Relevance. The current family legislation connects the emergence of civil law consequences for participants in family relations with the need to receive legally significant messages from them in cases directly provided for in the law. At the same time, the institution of legally significant messages did not find its consolidation and concretization in the current Family Code of the Russian Federation and applies to family relations according to the rules of civil law, which, in turn, gives rise to practical problems when resolving family disputes in court. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the intersectoral interaction of the institute of legally sig-nificant messages, including issues of its effective application in the family legal field. The objectives of the study are to determine the legal nature and specifics of legally significant messages in family legal relations, as well as to develop proposals for improving the current family legislation on the use of this institute by subjects of family law. Methodology. Methodology. When solving research problems, both general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, etc.) and private scientific (formal-dogmatic, intersectoral) methods were used. Results. Inter-sectoral interaction of the institute of legally significant communications in civil and family law has been established; its specific features in family relations related to the action of the imperative method of legal regulation of family relations, as well as the public-legal nature of certain types of legally significant communications, were revealed. Conclusion. Legally relevant messages play an important role not only in civil but also in family law. The ad-dressees of legally significant messages in family law are not only individuals participating in family legal relations, but also state bodies and organizations empowered to protect the rights of minors, which makes it possible to distinguish a new type of legally significant messages in family law - publicly significant legal messages.
