  Matrimonial Property: Conflicts of Bankruptcy and Family Laws
  
  The article analyses the key conflicts of family law and bankruptcy law with respect to the institution of private bankruptcy. The author examines the current regulations in the context of the objectives stated by the law enforcement authorities in finding a balance of interests of creditors and family members of the debtor-bankrupt when foreclosing on the property belonging to the latter and dividing the common property of spouses. Having considered the most illustrative court cases, as well as the relevant practice of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the author notes the main trends in judicial practice and names topical problems that have been solved neither by legislator nor by courts.
