Family members are obliged to respect, assist and support each other in accordance with this law. Parents have equal rights and responsibilities to their children and are responsible for raising, educating and empowering children to live independently, protect their interests and well-being. A child is every person under 18 years of age. The rights of the child are indivisible, interconnected and fully realized. The state is obliged to respect and promote the rights of the child and take the necessary measures to protect the child from neglect, abuse, exploitation and discrimination. In situations where the parents decide to divorce and file for divorce with the court and have common children, the court and all participants in the proceedings are obliged to treat the child participating in the proceedings with special care, taking into account the situation in which the child is in , their needs and well-being, with full respect for their dignity, personality and individuality. In family relations proceedings, the court may, if it deems it intensifying the conflict between the child and the parent or between the parents, appoint a child support person, a child under 14 without his or her consent, and a child over 14 years of age life with their consent. Information and advice are provided to the child in a timely, understandable manner, adapted to their age and maturity.
