Determining the scope of “family members” is one of the fundamental tasks of family law, as this concept directly affects the emergence, modification, and termination of a wide range of rights and obligation – including alimony, housing, and inheritance rights. Nevertheless, despite its pivotal role, the concept of family member lacks a universal, legislatively unified definition across the entire legal system of the Russian Federation. Moreover, Russian legal doctrine exhibits a persistent pluralism of interpretations, contributing to legal uncertainty and challenges in judicial and administrative practice. This article analyzes the term “family member” in the legislation of the Russian Federation and reviews and systematizes diverse interpretative approaches employed across the legal branches.
