论探望权

2001年新修订的《婚姻法》第38条规定:“离婚后,不直接抚养子女的父或母,有探望子女的权利,另一方有协助的义务。行使探望权利的方式、时间由当事人协议;协议不成时,由人民法院判决。”可以说,探望权的明确规定,是我国婚姻家庭立法的一大进步,它一方面为父母亲权的行使提供了法律保障;另一方面也更有利于父母离异的未成年子女健康成长。然而,我国《婚姻法》对探望权的规定仍然过于笼统,许多问题还需进一步的澄清和完善。

On Visitation Right

The 38th article of newly amended Marriage Law provides that after divorce,the patent who does not maintain children directly has the visitation right and the other parent has the obligation to cooperate.And the time and way of visitation can be decided by their agreement.If they cannot get an agreement,it is decided by the court.The provision of visitation right provides the legal guarantee for the enforcement of parental right and it is favorable for the healthy development of the jailbaits whose patent divorced.However,the provision on visitation right in China's Marriage Law is too abstract;there is still room of improvement.
