EXERCISING PARENTS' RIGHTS TO REPRESENT AND PROTECT THE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF THE CHILD

Problems of Ukraine’s Legislation Development

Abstract

The paper covers problematic issues of implemen­tation of parents’ rights to represent and protect the rights and interests of the child. It has been determined that the features of exercising this right are specified by child’s age and sphere of legal relations where the rep­resentation takes place. The parents exercise their right to the representation and protection of their little (un­der 14 years) children in the material and procedural legal relations. They don’t have the right to represent an underage child in the property and personal non­-property relations, they provide the help only to their underage children in exercising property rights.
