Abstract
The Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare drafted the Bill on Family Relations that will soon be under debate in the Parliament of the Republic of Croatia. The author of the paper comments on the basic provisions of the Bill and gives particular attention to its innovations. One of these innovations is the fact that it gives the citizens an opportunity to choose between the civil and religious form of contracting marriage. With regard to extramarital children, there are new provisions for determining the fatherhood in as many cases as possible but also the motherhood of abandoned children. The position of children in the family is regulated in such a way as to highlight the lights and the protection of the child. Another innovation in the Bill regards the property acquired in marriage, considered as co-ownership of the spouses in equal shares. The author points out the important role that the law applying bodies and the citizens of the Republic of Croatia, who it concerns, will have in its implementation.
