I chose the topic of the greatest benefit of the child after the divorce of the parents as the topic of my thesis. After the divorce of the parents, a preliminary consultation at the social work center is used to check the extent to which the best interests of the child are realized. Parents who share minor children must attend at least one preliminary counseling session. The main purpose of the preliminary consultations is to reach an agreement regarding the child, which is in his best interest, and at the same time the parents also agree on contacts, alimony and other formalities. As part of support and assistance, the Center for Social Work offers parents who need additional support various services, such as mediation, professional counseling, etc. It is important that in the process of support and assistance, social workers enable the voices of all participants to be heard, including the child's voice, which is often overlooked. In my thesis, I mainly focus on how the child's voice is heard, how social workers check the child's benefits, what about the separation of children after the divorce of their parents, what obstacles do social workers encounter when working with families who are in divorce proceedings. I also dedicate part of my thesis to the factors of the impact of divorce on the child, joint custody and education, the role of the social work center in working with families, social values and the legislative framework. Through qualitative research on a convenient sample of five people, I found that where the parents understand each other and have a resolved partnership, one preliminary counseling is enough, because it usually turns out that the child’s benefits are taken into account. Unresolved partnerships require more support and assistance, which social workers offer in the form of services such as additional meetings, mediation, and professional counseling. Social workers always prioritize children and try to make the best decision for each child. Among the most common obstacles in ensuring the child's use is the motivation of the parents to cooperate and the possible conflict between the parents, and the social workers also pointed out personnel and time constraints as an obstacle. The work also outlines how social workers see their role in working with families and how social values and existing legislation affect their work. It also shows the views of social workers regarding which form of parenting is most suitable after divorce and how it occurs in the case of “alienation syndrome”
