This article addresses to topical issues of family law contracts, their features and the necessity of their application in modern life. Currently, in order to regulate family legal relations in Ukraine, there are no single, unified constructions of contracts and mechanisms for their application, which undoubtedly complicates the resolution of one or another issue related to the regulation of family relations. This problem is due to its legal nature and has an insufficient number of scientific works in this field, and is also distinguished by its ambiguity and versatility of application. The purpose of the article is to determine the key aspects of the creation of the contract, the characteristic features and peculiarities of the subject composition inherent in family law contracts in developed modern countries. Family relations, personal non-property and property legal relations are analyzed. A conclusion was made regarding the need to develop unified mechanisms for solving issues that arise as a result of marriage, adoption of children, adoption of guardianship and other social and legal relations in order to simplify and speed up the conduct of these procedures, as well as to establish their implementation mechanism in accordance with modernity.
