Summary/Abstract: Family divorce is undoubtedly one of the most painful experiences in the lives of spouses and their children. However, the immaturity of younger family members, their dependence on parents, and the strong need for security and susceptibility to injury mean that the breakup of marriage is more strongly experienced by children than parents. Divorce is a kind of emotional shock for them, a critical and crisis period. As indicated by research reports and the analysis of court files, in many cases the right of minors to the contact with both parents is not respected, which is largely due to the behaviour of the parents themselves. It should be emphasized that all parents’ activities, such as: rivalry between them for the child’s feelings, engaging him or her in conflict with the former partner, striving to form a coalition with the child, as well as obtaining physical and mental exclusivity for the child by isolation from the other parent and devaluing him or her – should be considered as forms of emotional abuse of the youngest family members and manifestations of violation of one of the basic rights of children, which is the right to both parents.
