Abstract:
This article is devoted to the development of family law in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The changes of the
social and economic of recent years have had a mixed impact on the basic fundamental institution — the institution
of the family. Actively implemented reforms in our country didn't take into account the rights and interests
of the family, also they didn't solve internal conflicts and external problems that inevitably arise in the
era of change. Nowadays, It is obvious that the institution of the family as an economic unit wasn't taken into
account in the period of economic reforms such as: privatization, the formation of new property relations, the
creation of a new taxation system, and the conditions of medium and small businesses. The current situation
of the family requires constant and close attention from the state, development of normative regulation of
family-marriage relations, taking into account modern conditions. In this regard, the formation of a thoughtful
state family policy will help in solving problems related to the family for the current period. This article discusses
issues that traditionally have a decisive significance for the development of family law and family and
marriage law as separate branches of law and legislation. The author of the article justifies the position on the
independence and difference of the family law from civil law on the basis of the subject, method, principles
and objectives of these industries. It is concluded that family law does not fully protect the rights and interests
of children, parents, spouses, these and other problems should be the basis for further improvement of marital
and marital legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
