In Ukraine, the rights of the child do not have specific legislation, they are reflected and protected by separate articles in the Family, Civil and Criminal Codes, in Art. 52 of the Constitution, as well as the Laws: "On Prevention of Domestic Violence", "On Protection of Childhood", "On Social Work with Children and Young People".

The article presents the main list of normative and legislative acts concerning the designation and observance of the rights of the child in the family. They stated that the basic right of minor children is to live and bring up in the family. This is necessary for the full mental, personal and social development of each child, so this condition of life is the most important without exaggeration. In this regard, adoption is given priority over other custodial forms of orphanages to the family . Children have the right to possess data and to know everything about biological parents, and also to communicate with relatives, except for the need to preserve the secrecy of adoption.

According to normative acts, parents are obliged to take care of health, education, all-round development and material support of children. Violation of such rights of the child in the family can lead to the withdrawal of children and the deprivation or restriction of parental rights in relation to them in the courts. Such a measure is designed to protect the rights of the child in the family.

The property rights of the child in the family are the inalienable right to receive full content from the parents. For them, in turn, this is an indisputable duty. If one of the parents does not allocate funds for the maintenance of the child, then they are collected in judicial, compulsory order. In the case when they are not able to provide for the child, the minor has the right to collect alimony from an adult and able-bodied brothers / sisters or grandparents.

The property of the child is movable and immovable property, which has passed to him by inheritance, as a gift, or bought for its means, as well as income from their use, shares, cash contributions and dividends from them, etc.

The child also owns income from his entrepreneurial or intellectual activity, as well as a scholarship, which he has the right to dispose of independently from the age of 14.
