  The concept of a family company is not defined in current law. In the case of companies in which members of a family have a decisive influence, it allows only a formal approach. However, in addition to the formal approach, the substance of the company, the specific nature of family interests and values, justify an examination of the company from other points of view, which allow not only the long-term commercial economic activity but also the specific nature of family relationships to be examined on the basis of company law. It is therefore of the utmost importance that family companies should reflect family relationships, the need to operate intergenerationally and protect the family nature of the company, and ensure the family's long-term prosperity. The combination of the formal and substantive elements makes it possible to conclude that family companies are special legal entities in which a particular family community has a decisive influence, has and represents specific interests and values, among which the protection of family assets, the aim of intergenerational operation and the safeguarding of the long-term well-being of family members are to be highlighted. The Civil Code provides for multiple means of achieving these interests, in addition to the classic instruments of company law, including the possibility of shareholders’ agreement.

  Parentage is an integral part of our identity, and the parent-child relationship is one of the most crucial social relationships in our lives. The putative father believes for a certain period of time that a child who is not his own is in fact his own, and however brief this period may be, it is likely that a kind of conscious and emotional bond will develop between him and the child. If such a knowledge, which is the basis of our self-esteem, of our origin, is mistakenly thought of and we are confronted with it overnight, it will certainly lead to a traumatic experience, to a damage to our identity.

  In the present study, we will attempt to compare the historical facts described with the relevant legal fact(s), by taking the skin of a law enforcer. How can family law react when "the apple falls far from the tree"? We start from the premise that the historical facts present us primarily with a family conflict, so that it would be logical to invoke the protection of family law. However, the question arises as to whether family law alone can fully compensate the alleged father for the harm to his interests described, or whether other areas of law may have to be activated to do so.

  The tenure of the matrimonial home after divorce is a significant question in several respects. In addition to the fact that both parties are likely to be emotionally attached to the former scene of family life, the wealth factor must be taken into account as well, as it is a valuable property that can be a real trump card for both spouses these days, considering the high property prices. It should also be borne in mind that if a spouse receives the formal matrimonial home, he or she will not be exposed to the inconvenience of finding a suitable home and will not have to leave his or her usual environment. It follows, however, that a spouse who is forced to move must be compensated in some way for these difficulties, even if he or she did not own the matrimonial home. This study intends to examine the regulation of European countries regarding the use of the marital home in the event of divorce, presenting the typical models and the main aspects considered. The purpose of the present work is not to analyse the Hungarian regulations, they are only mentioned for the aim of comparison. As a conclusion of this research, I would like to reveal the most ideal solution for settling the tenure of the matrimonial home in the event of a divorce, the pros and cons of each model, and if states really take family law principles into account.
