Outline of Final Research Achievements

In those four years there have been a strong change of the family structure and the diversity of the family is extending more and more rapidly. In Europe and America, many countries have acknowledged the so-called domestic partnership or civil union between two adults, either homo-sexual or hetero-sexual, and re-marriages, step-families and recomposed families have been increasing. The parent and child relationship has also changed with the progress of the medically assisted procreations. The conflicts between the family members or domestic relations have been hard to be resolved and a new system of dispute resolutions with autonomy of parties and assistance of legal or non-legal professionals is needed. We have become a society in which there are an increasing number of people who are living completely without any relationships. The present state of the family law system and the desired legislation was considered.
