Posted by Admin
in Family law

Posvojenje je zakonom uređen postupak kojim se uspostavlja roditeljski odnos između posvojitelja i djeteta. Uključuje provjeru podobnosti posvojitelja, procjene nadležnih institucija te odobrenje suda. Postupak se provodi u skladu sa Obiteljskim zakonom i drugim relevantnim propisima. Obiteljski zakon definira posvojenje kao poseban oblik obiteljsko-pravnog zbrinjavanja i zaštite djeteta bez odgovarajuće roditeljske skrbi kojim se stvara trajni odnos roditelja i djeteta. U daljnjim odredbama propisano je da  posvojitelji posvojenjem stječu pravo na roditeljsku skrb te s ono može zasnovati samo ako je u skladu s dobrobiti djeteta. Tijekom postupku posvojenja posebice se pazi na dobrobit i interes djeteta u odnosu na osobine posvojitelja...

If a missing spouse is declared deceased, the marriage ends on the date established as the date of death by a final...

Posted by Admin
in Family law

In accordance with the Family Act, caring for a minor child is primarily the duty of the parents, and a parent who is able to work cannot be released from this obligation. If a parent fails to provide support, responsibility passes to the grandparents, and in certain circumstances to a stepmother or stepfather – in cases where the child cannot obtain support from the other parent, especially if they lived together with the child at the time of the parent’s death. There is also an obligation to support an adult child who is attending secondary school, a university or vocational study...

Anticipated Order

Posted by Admin
in Contract law, Family law

An anticipated order is a notarial document by which a person designates another individual in advance to make decisions, take actions, and represent their interests in the event of circumstances prescribed by law.

By introducing anticipated orders into Croatian legislation, the legislator has further affirmed the application of the principle of individual autonomy, as it allows a person, while still legally competent, to decide in advance—through a declaration made in a...
