Abstract

The paper proposes a new definition of the concept of subjective alimony right as a legal opportunity created and guaranteed by law for an interested authorized person to satisfy material needs by obtaining maintenance secured by the duties of other persons. It has been noted that the proposed concept is formulated taking into account the general philosophical and general theoretical views on subjective right. The content of subjective alimony right has been considered. The opinion has been expressed on the crisis state of subjective alimony right. The causes of the crisis have been identified: the lack of proper legislative fixation of subjective alimony right; implementation problems and problems of abuse of subjective alimony right; ineffective protection of alimony right; neglect of legal regulations in the field of family life. The way out of the crisis is seen in the renewal of family and legal policy, getting rid of ineffective legal norms, and further development of traditional family values.

Keywords: alimony, family values, protection of rights, material needs, subjective alimony right, ineffective legal norms
