Abstract
This paper analyses the European Court of Human Rights' approach to the applications regarding the removal of the child from the family. The measure of removing the child from the family is the most intrusive form of interference of the competent authorities into family life that, considering its broad area of application, affects different rights and interests. This paper considers the Court's general principles on certain aspects of the cases regarding this measure, as well as their application in the concrete cases. The author is of the opinion that the analysis of the Court's case-law in this extremely sensitive area shows that it can have positive effect on the development of the legal culture, but only if it is approached critically.
