Page 1 out of 10
A – Rejection of conflictuality in family law
1 – Rejection by the legislator of the historical-conflictual dimension of disputes
- The argument based on the necessary serenity of the debates
- “Return of the repressed”
- Divorce time: the false argument of the deferred treatment of conflictuality
2 – Promotion of the child’s best interest
