Rodzina w sieci, czyli o kierunku normatywnych zmian w prawie dotyczącym rodziny

Abstract

This article is about the network issue and the location of the family within it. Based on research conducted in public management, it was proposed to approach the legal protection system of the family and the child as a judicial inter-organizational network. This is understood as a set of individuals, organizations and institutions connected by a system of relations, integrated by a family court, that focus on activities that protect and support the family. The argument assumes that the administrative process contributes to the construction of a network understood in this way, perceived as a manifestation of the legal system’s evolution towards blurring the boundaries dividing its area, especially the public and private spheres. Due to the lack of definitions of the concept in family law, its meaning and manifestations in various areas of law are indicated. An attempt is then made to show the administrative process in family law. Axiological and functional considerations justify the outlined direction of changes in the law, which are associated with the need to build relationships between the links in a network based on cooperation. Building and tightening the family support network can improve the justice system’s effectiveness in family and care matters.
