The scientific article examines the features of legal regulation of legal regulation of family relations by codified legal acts in Ukraine and Western and Central Europe. In particular, it is determined that the private law of most Western and Central European countries, including the French Republic, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, the Republic of Latvia, and in particular Georgia, is represented by codified legal acts - civil codes, in contrast to the Republic of Poland , The Republic of Serbia, the Republic of Moldova, the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, in which family relations are regulated mainly by family codes, allowing for subsidiary regulation of certain relations by civil codes. This circumstance is caused by differences in the understanding of family relations: in the first case they are understood as civil, and the status of spouses, parents and children does not differ from the legal status of the person, allowing wider application of the dispositive method of legal regulation; in the second case as family - given the objective difference between family and civil relations, the focus of family relations primarily on the implementation of not property but personal non-property rights and responsibilities, the derivative nature of property relations, more broad in connection with the need to protect the interests of the family, motherhood and childhood, the application of the imperative method of legal regulation. In the countries of the first group the Civil Code is the main source of family law, and in the second - there is a dualism in legal regulation: those family relationships that require special state protection are regulated by family codes or special laws that provide limited use of sources containing social law regulations and, as a rule, in those areas that are not regulated by family codes (laws) and where dispositive regulation is allowed (in such cases, in the absence of appropriate contractual regulation, the provisions of the Civil Code apply).References
