This thesis deals with the participatory rights of children,
especially their implementation within selected institutions of
family law. The work progresses from the theoretical part to
the practical part. In the theoretical part are define the
basic concepts that are relevant to the topic, for example
interest versus the child's wishes, the proportionality test
itself or participatory rights. The core of the work is to
review and legal analysis of individual situations where is a
realization of participatory rights and their collision with
the rights of other persons or bodies (or the best interests of
the child). These collisions are solved by the selected
institutions of family law, in connection with gauge parents,
in cases of institutional care, in relation to adoption and in
cases of domestic violence. These collisions are dealt with
under current legislation, the Constitutional Court and
European Court of Human Rights. Due to the new Civil Code, the
work deals with the concept of participatory rights in the
light of this Code, including the assessment of the degree of
European harmonization trends.
