Abstract

Child’s right to maintenance is his/her natural constitutional personal property right. Constitutional consolidation of the parental rights and duties to maintain children show their importance in the social structure of a state as well as in the regulated social relations in the field of family law. Provision of the child’s right to maintenance creates conditions for implementation of other child’s rights: right to accommodation, education, suitable living conditions etc., because the direct aim of maintenance is maximum satisfaction of the child’s needs and interests. In this paper I try to disclose contents of the child’s right to parental maintenance urgent principles of its consolidation in the positive legislature and defence in the civil process as well as regulation peculiarities. The paper is not sought to be an in-deep scientific study, but it should be a valuable and informative measure in identification of the existing gaps in the regulation of the child’s right to parental maintenance and in the search for more efficient ways of solution.
