Strategic planning documents and their significance for Russia in civil and family law

Relevance. A set of challenges and threats in various areas of public administration, the economy, and the socio-cultural sphere, require the development and implementation of a new state policy or the correction of the current one. Currently, a number of strategic planning documents that are fundamentally important for the entire state and society have been adopted. However, their significance is not universally recognized at the theoretical and practical levels, which reduces their value, slows down the work on new federal laws, and can also distort law enforcement practices. The purpose is to develop recommendations for improving the practice of using strategic planning documents based on their purpose, as well as approaches to understanding the sources of legal policy, including in the field of civil and family law. Objectives: to establish the significance of strategic planning documents for the state policy in the field of civil and family legal relations. Methodology. The study used the dialectical-materialistic method, the system method, the analysis and synthesis method, and the formal-legal method. The results of the study are reflected in the formulated proposals aimed at improving project legislation, as well as the practice of working with strategic planning documents in law enforcement practice. Conclusion. The study substantiated the position that strategic planning documents, due to their relative novelty, should be classified as special or atypical sources of civil and family law in Russia. Their provisions serve as the main guidelines for creating new and improving existing norms of domestic civil and family legislation, as well as for law enforcement practice.
