CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL BASES OF CURRENT FAMILY POLICY IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
The aim of the work is to identify the features of public interest in the family legal sphere in the pursuance of constitutional and legal principles. The author analyzed the provisions of the Family Code of the Russian Federation and studied the main normative legal acts providing various forms of state support to citizens with children. As a result of the study, it is confirmed that the mechanism of the regulation of family relations is dominated by public interest, the content and forms of which are manifested in various policy documents. It is proved that the state family policy largely involves the provision of social support to citizens with children, which cannot be perceived as a family policy. The significance of the work is to compare the provisions of the Family Code of the Russian Federation as the main element of the mechanism of regulation of family relations and other normative legal acts proclaiming the principles of the state family policy, which allowed to change the content of the scientific discussion about the concept of the state family policy.
