Learning unit contents

The course consists of two main parts: persons and family law and matrimonial property law. The subject is analysed as individual (rights of privacy, capacity rules, identification, civil status) and as member of a couple (marriage, divorce, non-marital commuity). This part will be teached under a MOOC. Next we discuss the legal status of the child (filiation, adoption, custody and parental responsibilities, alimony). The course ends with a discussion of matrimonial property law (legal rules, matrimonial contract, division of the goods, unmarried couples). The objective is to give students keys to understand family law and its anchoring in society and history. This part will be teached under a MOOC.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

We recommend as a prerequisite knowledge the « Juridical terminology and text analysis in Dutch » course, because of its importance in Belgian federal law, particularly in Belgian civil law. The reason is found in the predominance of dutch sources in the Belgian legal theory and case law.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course will be teached trough an interactive method. It does not cover the whole subject matter but this will be taken into consideration for the exam.
 
As a part of Ms. Géraldine MATHIEU's teaching on children's issues, debates on topical issues related to concept studied in the course and some exercises (casus resolution) will be done during the lecture. The idea is to involve the student as much as possible in a co-construction of knowledge. Some occasional screenings of videos, followed by discussions, and occasional interventions by external speakers (judge, lawyer, donor, child, direct of an adoption service, etc.) will also be organized. The course will be illustrated by Power Point slides.
 
In the framework of the teaching given by Mr. Yves-Henri LELEU, the participation of students will be asked in the form of questions. The aim isn't to to evaluate the student but to personalize the dialogue to a large audience and to facilitate the acquisition of oral legal expression skills. Student monitors will organize workshops. Students are invited to ask questions about the subject during or at the end of the course. Members of the Family Law Unit are also available to answer questions about the course by appointment (offices I. 15 and I. 16).
The Use of laptops and smartphone is prohibited, in order to facilitate the annotation of the books which are allowed for the exam.
