Summary/Abstract: This article examines the intersection of family law in Albania and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. It analyzes how Albania’s legal framework has evolved in response to European Court of Human Rights rulings, particularly regarding issues such as parental rights, child custody, etc. The study highlights key regulatory legislation, such as the Constitution of the Republic of Albania, 1998 and the Albanian Family Code, that have aligned national standards with European human rights standards. By investigating case studies and legislative regulations, the article underscores the importance of integrating international human rights norms into domestic legal practices, ultimately advocating for a more robust protection of family rights in Albania. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of how European human rights standards influence national legal systems in the context of family law. By analyzing the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, this research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges Albanian family law had undergone and the potential pathways for future development. Ultimately, it emphasizes the need for continuous legal adaptation to ensure that family law effectively meets the diverse needs of Albanian society in an ever-changing European landscape.
