FAMILY LAW СЕМЕЙНОЕ ПРАВО

Family law is an area of the law that deals with family-related issues and domestic relations including: – the nature of marriage and domestic partnerships; – issues arising throughout marriage, including spousal abuse, legitimacy, adoption, child abuse, and child abduction; – the termination of the relationship and ancillary matters including divorce, annulment, property settlements, alimony, and parental responsibility orders. Marriage The law in most countries places more emphasis upon marriages legally registered than social arrangements whereby people live together. In Britain children born outside legitimate marriages have fewer rights to financial support from estranged fathers than legitimate children

Семейное право – область права, занима-ющаяся вопросами семьи и домашних отно-шений, включая: – сущность брака и домашнего партнер-ства; – вопросы, возникающие в процессе брака, включая злоупотребление супружескими пра-вами, законнорожденность, усыновление, жес-токое обращение с ребенком и похищение ребенка, – прекращение отношений и сопутству-ющие вопросы, включая развод, аннулирова-ние (брака), решение имущественных вопро-сов, алименты и регламент родительской ответственности. Брак В большинстве стран закон придает бо-льшее значение официально зарегистрирован-ным бракам, нежели общественным согла-шениям, по которым люди живут вместе. В Британии дети, рожденные вне законного брака, обладают меньшими правами на финансовую поддержку со стороны отдельно проживающих отцов, чем законные дети

Task. Translate into English.
