Marriage is not only a happy family life. Sometimes there are conflicts and misunderstandings in this area of human relations. Of course, everything can be settled calmly, but sometimes you have to use the rights and obligations of spouses, controlled by law.
The Family Code establishes and regulates certain points of relations in this unit of society. The rights and obligations of spouses are also prescribed in this legislation.
Firstly, marriage does not in any way violate a citizen’s personal freedoms. It concerns the choice of profession. No one can influence this decision. Also, each of the spouses has the right to engage in any kind of activity.
Residence is the personal choice of each adult family member. Naturally, it is considered normal when the couple live together. But if for some reason one of them wants to live separately and temporarily arrive in another place, then this is his personal business.
The rights and obligations of spouses in the matter of raising children are also regulated by family law. Here, each of the parties has equal rights. Education, parenting, as well as paternity and motherhood are aspects of relations that are decided on the basis of equality.
The rights and obligations of spouses also relate to the moral aspects of family relations. The Family Code prescribes to build them on the principles of respectful and careful attitude to each other, willingness to help. Spouses should strive to create well-being and strengthen family relationships and preserve family values. Their responsibilities also include caring for children, their development and well-being.
Personal rights and obligations of spouses, regulated by the family code, are sometimes not mandatory. But they are desirable that the family had a normal relationship.
At the conclusion of the marriage, both spouses have the right to dispose of their surnames and to establish the one they will wear in the future. Each of them can leave his or her surname. It is considered as an option and joining the partner's surname to his.
There are property rights of spouses. They relate to jointly acquired property. It is divided into general and separate. The property that the spouses had before marriage, or which was donated to one of them in the marriage, is considered personal property.
The common property includes material assets acquired during the period of family life. Both spouses have equal rights to this property.
Mutual rights and obligations of spouses are also regulated by the marriage contract. This is a document that stipulates issues related to property rights, personal obligations. A prenuptial agreement applies to relationships both in marriage and after its dissolution.
A marriage contract may stipulate all parties to a life together. First of all, these are the rights of each spouse to the property and the procedure for its distribution in the event of termination of the marriage.
The document also contains the obligations of the spouses among themselves after the divorce proceedings. It also speaks of ways of raising children and other aspects of this issue.
A prenuptial agreement may contain those items relating to family life that the participants themselves will choose.
Thus, the main document regulating family relations, and the rights and obligations of spouses, is the family code. But as a supplement, they also use a marriage contract.
But family relationships depend, first of all, on the personal qualities of both spouses. Only through joint efforts can feelings of love and fidelity be carried through the whole family life and maintain a good and attentive attitude towards each other.
