Abstract
The academic paper delves into the fundamental concept of the child's best interests, emphasizing its prevalence over adult interests in Ukrainian and EU legislation concerning the rights of the child's family. It stresses the need for a nuanced assessment of the child's needs, considering individual cases and involving the child's perspective. The article explores specific non-jurisdictional protection methods, focusing on mental well-being, education, safety, stability, and family relationships. Emphasizing the child's welfare, the study underscores the importance of preserving stable relationships and balancing parental rights with the child's best interests in family disputes. Protection of the child's family rights involves restoring violated rights and preventing future violations, ensuring the child's legal status and safeguarding their rights and interests.
