Institution of hearing a minor in court in matters that concern him/her

Summary/Abstract: In the article premises for hearing a minor are presented, as well as organizational issues related to it. The analysis of the provisions in force leads to the conclusion that the role a psychologist plays in a hearing of a minor is still not adequately appreciated. There are no regulations providing for the obligatory participation of a psychologist in a hearing of a child. It is therefore necessary to change the provisions in this respect, so as to determine the competence of a psychologist in a hearing, establish whether a hearing is held by a single-member court or a court in collegiate composition, where a hearing takes place: in the course of divorce proceedings or before the appeal court. Moreover, the issue of frequency of hearing a minor should be clarified.
