THE DEVELOPMENT OF FAMILY LAW - FROM GCC TO FAMILY CODE

V letu 1918 je prišlo do združitve jugoslovanskih narodov pod skupnim imenom Kraljevina Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev. Za to obdobje je značilen velik vpliv verskih organizacij na pravno ureditev, kar se je predvsem izrazito kazalo na področju družinskega prava. Starši v razmerju do otrok niso bili enakopravni, žena je bila podrejena možu, ki je veljal za "glavo družine". Leta 1945, v času Federativne ljudske republike Jugoslavije, je bilo družinsko pravo postavljeno na nove temelje. Vsi pravni predpisi, ki so veljali pred in med drugo svetovno vojno, so bili razglašeni za neobstoječe. S tem smo popolnoma opustili uporabo pravne ureditve v stari Jugoslaviji, ki je bila ena izmed najbolj konservativnih v zahodni Evropi. V letu 1971 je z ustavno reformo Socialistične federativne republike Jugoslavije urejanje družinskopravnih razmerij v celoti prešlo v pristojnost posameznih republik. V Republiki Sloveniji je bil leta 1976 sprejet Zakon o zakonski zvezi in družinskih razmerjih, ki je za razliko od prej veljavnih temeljnih zakonov družinskopravno področje celovito uredil. Uredil je zakonsko zvezo, razmerja med starši in otrokom, posvojitev, rejništvo ter varstvo mladoletnih otrok in drugih oseb, ki niso sposobne same skrbeti zase, za svoje pravice in koristi. Družinska razmerja v Republiki Sloveniji ureja 35 let star zakon, kar sicer dokazuje, da je bil za takratne razmere leta 1976 napisan zelo napredno, saj je bil vse do danes le trikrat noveliran. Največ sprememb je bilo v premoženjskih razmerjih med zakoncema in v razmerju med otrokom in starši, nekatere pristojnosti, ki jih je ob sprejetju Zakona o zakonski zvezi in družinskih razmerjih imel center za socialno delo, so prešle na sodišča, spremembe so bile tudi na področju varstva in vzgoje otrok, izvrševanja roditeljske pravice ter otrokovih stikov itd. Leta 2011, natančneje 16. junija, je bil v Državnem zboru Republike Slovenije sprejet Družinski zakonik, ki je predstavljal obsežno reformo družinskega prava, vendar do njegove uveljavitve ni prišlo, saj je Civilna iniciativa za družino in pravice otrok zbrala zadostno število podpisov za razpis referenduma, na katerem se je leta 2012 večina državljanov in državljank Slovenije opredelila proti njegovemu sprejemu.In the year 1918 the Yugoslav nations merged, named the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. This period was characterized by a large influence of religious organizations on the regulation, which was especially pronounced in the family law. Parents were not equal in the relation to children, the wife was subordinate to her husband, who was considered as the "head of the family". The family law was reorganizated during the period of the Federal People\u27s Republic of Yugoslavia in 1945. All legal regulations, which were in use prior and during the World War II were declared to be non-existent with the legal regulations. Therefore we completely abandoned the use of regulations in old Yugoslavia, which was one of the most conservative in Western Europe. With a constitutional reform of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1971, the editing of family-law relationships was fully transferred to the jurisdiction of the republics. In the Republic of Slovenia was the Law on Marriage and Family Relations adopted in 1976, which unlike the previously applicable basic (fundamental) laws comprehensively regulated the family-law field. The law regulated the marriage, the relationship between parents and children, adoption, foster care and the protection of minors and other persons, which are not able to take care of themselves, of their rights and benefits. Family relationships in the Republic of Slovenia are being regulated by an almost 35-year-old law, which otherwise proves that the law was written highly advanced in 1976 and was amended only three times till today. Most changes were made in the matrimonial property and the relationship between children and parents, some powers that had the Centre for Social Work at the adoption of the law were later transferred to the courts, changes were also made in the area of childcare, education, enforcement of parental rights and child contacts, etc... In 2011, precisely on the 16 of June, the Family code was adopted in the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia, which represented a major reform of the family law, but it never came in use, because the Civil initiative for Family and children\u27s rights collected a sufficient number of signatures to call in a referendum on which the majority of the citizens of Slovenia defined against its adoption in 2012
