Abstract

In this article, the author explores the question of what should still be crucial when considering cases of challenging and (or) establishing paternity: the biological truth or the interests of the child. The importance of the child’s interests as a criterion for resolving disputes about origin in contesting and (or) establishing paternity is substantiated. Based on a comparative analysis of the provisions of the Family Code of the Russian Federation and national acts of Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, France and China, the lack of limitation periods in national family legislation for filing claims for challenging and (or) establishing paternity is critically assessed in family.
