Third party supervised visitation

V slovenski zakonodaji stike pod nadzorom poznamo od leta 2004, vendar so jih sodišča v svojih odločbah določala že pred tem, centri za socialno delo pa so takšne odločbe upoštevali in takšne stike izvajali. Sedanja ureditev stikov pod nadzorom je pomanjkljiva, zaradi česar se v praksi pojavljajo težave. Zakon o zakonski zvezi in družinskih zadevah je najbolj pomanjkljiv pri izvajanju stikov pod nadzorom. Ne določa kdo je tista oseba, ki stik nadzoruje, kakšne so njene naloge pred, med in po nadzorovanju stikov, ne omejuje, za koliko časa lahko sodišče stike pod nadzorom določi, prav tako ni urejena prostorska problematika, v kakšnih prostorih naj se stiki izvajajo. V magistrski nalogi sem želela izpostaviti probleme, s katerimi se v praksi pri izvajanju stikov pod nadzorom tretjega soočajo centri za socialno delo, za katere sem izvedela pri obiskih obeh centrov, in predstaviti rešitve, ki so mi jih na teh obiskih predlagali. Res je, da predlog Družinskega zakonika Ministrstva za delo, družino, socialne zadeve in enake možnosti nekatere probleme na tem področju rešuje, vendar pa je vprašanje, če bo kdaj sprejet in bo zaživel v praksi. Konvencija o otrokovih stikih ponuja nekaj rešitev za odpravljanje teh težav, vendar je Slovenija še ni ratificirala. Morda bi bilo smiselno o tem koraku v prihodnosti še razmisliti. Cilj vseh sprememb in dopolnitev mora biti korist otroka. Gre za poglavitno načelo, ki je vodilo za ravnanje in postopanje v postopkih v zvezi z otrokom.Third party supervised visitation was introduced into Slovenian legislation in 2004. In practice, courts had included it in their rulings before, which was observed and implemented by the Social Work Centres. Present legislation appears to be incomplete which complicates matters in day-to-day work. Law on Marriage and Family Relations is especially lacking in the matter of third party supervised visitation, failing to specify who is the supervisor to be and what their responsibilities are before, during and after the visitation. Nor does it establish the maximum duration of the supervision or resolve the matter of appropriate place for such occasions. The purpose of the thesis is to shed light on day-to-day issues concerning third party visitation, faced by Social Work Centres and to present possible solutions based on my research at two such centres I visited and their suggestions. The newly proposed Family Law put into parliamentary procedure by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities appears to solve some of these problems. It is however uncertain whether it will be confirmed and put into practice. Council of Europe\u27s Convention on Contact concerning Children offers some solutions as well but it has not so far been ratified by Slovenia. This can certainly be a future step to take. The ultimate goal of all changes and amendments should be the benefit of the child, which is the ultimate principle in all proceedings involving children
