Family Law

Family Law, as a special branch of private civil law, is a set of legal rules that regulate family relationships, ie relationships that are formed and developed within the family, in addition to inheritance laws that are specifically regulated by the provisions of inheritance law.

In other words, it is about the relations between the spouses, as well as the relations between the parents and the children. In particular, it regulates literal family relationships, ie betrothal, marriage, marital relations, divorce, the acquisition of offspring through medical assistance, kinship issues, maintenance between family members, parent-child relationships and adoption, but also quasi-family relationships, where the parties do not have to be spouses or relatives, ie the committee as well as the adoption of a minor, the legal support of an adult and finally the judicial supervision of foreign cases. The Family is primarily a sociological concept and indicates the need for man to belong somewhere, suggesting the primary group of society, where the bond of its members is directly related to a biological event: sexual intercourse or childbearing. The legal meaning of the family is defined by law only in exceptional cases, while its content is flexible and is shaped according to the needs that a certain regulation is called to serve. An alternative form of family, which is increasingly appearing in modern societies, is free association. Law 3719/2008 recognizes in Greece the pact of free cohabitation, which is the agreement of two adults for the organization of their cohabitation, providing couples with some of the rights offered by marriage. Furthermore, the family does not have legal personality, ie it is not subject to rights and obligations. Therefore, she does not have her own property, she does not inherit or is inherited, she does not contribute independently in her name, she cannot be a party to a lawsuit, etc. These qualities can be possessed only by the members of each family, ie the mother, the father, the children.
