All types of subjects of family legal relations perform a certain function. Parents should take care of young children, and when they grow up, they take care of the older generation. If all fulfill their role, then the family is harmonious.

What does the content include?

The structure and types of family legal relations include the rights and duties of family members. This is recorded in the legislative documents. In this sphere, there are such concepts as legal capacity, capacity.

Family legal capacity is called the opportunity to enjoy rights and responsibilities. It appears with birth, its volume can change with age. For example, many rights appear from adulthood.

Family capacity is called the ability to acquire and fulfill rights and responsibilities. It is not considered a prerequisite for the emergence of family legal relationships. Many of them arise without the will of participants, for example, the relationship between parents and children. The law does not specify the age when absolute capacity appears. Usually this occurs with legal capacity.

The acquisition of legal capacity does not always lead to the emergence of family capacity. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation states that under emancipation a minor becomes legally capable. Only the court can remove it.

What is the object?

In the family law there are not only subjects. Objects of family legal relations are:

• Acts;

The most popular object is an act, because it is based on conscious activity, for example, the decision on the appointment of the family name after the wedding. Property is the right to freely dispose of property.
