Summary/Abstract: The article presents the most important legislative initiatives of the Kingdom of Bulgaria targeted at the family in the period 1912–1944. The major goal is to outline the legislative measures aimed at strengthening the families as the main reproductive unit of society. In general, the state maintained the policy of promoting marital fertility and the system of family supplements for children was introduced for the first time. At the end of the period, the policy acquired a discriminatory character, focusing on supporting families of Bulgarian ethnic origin.
