The family home is an extremely important institute that encompasses the most private spheres of life of every human. The importance of this institute is reflected in the fact that its suggesting is primarily recognized in the Council of Europe. The most detailed presentation of the standardization of this institute can be found in the Recommendation of the Council of Europe No. 81 (15), which serves as help for states for the purpose of regulating this institute as well as possible. This institute was also introduced into the legislation of nearby countries such as Germany, which standardized this matter in a detailed way. In this master's thesis we will explain the institute of family home and protection of the right to household using the method of comparison, and guided by the basic goal of reviewing the protection of the rights of the most vulnerable groups in our society, which in this case are children. Also, by comparatively analyzing these provisions of the German and Croatian legislators, we will present differences in the standardization of these two legislation and answer the question of the quality of standardization of this institute in the Republic of Croatia.
