Uzdržavanje bračnih i izvanbračnih drugova te istospolnih partnera -- hrvatska rješenja i europski kontekst.

The paper attempts to deal with the institute of maintenance of adults (spouses, extramarital partners, and same-sex partners). After introductory remarks on the fundamental features of the institute of maintenance, the author clarifies the difference between maintenance as an institute of family law and maintenance as regulated in civil law regulations. A special focus of the paper is a comparative analysis of the legal solutions laid down in the Principles of European Family Law (a non-binding legal document issued by the Commission on European Family Law) and the legal solutions in Irish family law legislation, compared to the Croatian solutions. In the final part of the paper, the author presents the results of the research, and the conclusions drawn from the study of the legal regulation of maintenance of adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
