Summary/Abstract: High-conflict divorces are an encreasing social issue in Bosnia and Herzegovina, characterized by complex dynamics and serious consequences for children and families. This paper provides a theoretical understanding of divorce, particularly in situations where no consensus is reached regarding child custody. It analyzes the legal framework governing high-conflict divorces, including international standards and domestic legislation, as well as institutional challenges in protecting children’s rights. By reviewing literature from social work, law, social psychology, pedagogy, and related fields, and analyzing reports from relevant institutions addressing high-conflict marriages, key issues such as child manipulation, child support claims, maintaining parent-child contact, and international child abductions are identified. Findings indicate that, despite the existence of a legal framework, the implementation of laws often encounters obstacles, further complicating support for children in high-conflict divorces.
