The article examines the features, limits and other manifestations of state protection of childhood, motherhood, paternity and family in the family legal field. The actions of government bodies in the field of protection of childhood, motherhood, paternity and family are analyzed. The relevance of the study of family legal features of the state’s protection of childhood, motherhood, paternity and family is due to the fact that the state’s special protection of such values as motherhood, paternity, family and childhood guarantees a continuous change of generations, and is also important for the preservation and development of the multiethnic nation of Russia. When it comes to the protection of childhood, motherhood, and paternity by the state, the legislator means spouses, parents (adoptive parents) and their minor children who do not have full civil capacity as family members. An analysis of family law shows that the protection of childhood, motherhood, paternity and family represented by the state is carried out by the court if there are grounds for it in the event of a claim, as well as by other government bodies (in particular, guardianship and trusteeship authorities, the prosecutor) - in cases provided for Family Code of the Russian Federation. Family legal protection by the state is measures aimed at maintaining the integrity of the family by the state. A family in the form of a married couple breaks up if the marriage ends. In turn, a family in the form of parents and their minor children, who do not have full civil capacity, may fall apart if the child and parents (parent, adoptive parent) are separated. Government authorities have a number of measures in their arsenal that can prevent or stop the breakdown of a family if family members also make efforts in this direction.
