Parents have a range of rights and duties in relation towards children. One of the most important duties of parents is the maintenance of children in order to ensure the successful physical and mental development of the child. The maintenance institute is one of the basic pillars of family law, based on one of the basic principles of family law, the principle of solidarity, mutual assistance between family members. According to the law, the maintenance obligation is not binding only the parents, but it acts mutually, even children are obliged to support their parents under certain conditions. In my dissertation, I burrowed into the legal system of the maintenance institute in Slovenian legislation and briefly reviewed the arrangements in other European countries.
The survival of children, which usually takes place within the family unit, is self-evident. Problems arise only after the disintegration of a marriage. That is why my master's thesis is dedicated to presenting the Slovenian legal system of maintenance with a review of the case law, which substantially complements it. Furthermore, I presented the options that the maintenance creditor has when the non-fulfillment of the obligations by the debtor occurs.
