The article highlights that when disputes concerning upbringing of children are being dealt with by the courts, custody and guardianship authorities may act both as a procedural claimant and as a state authority competent to give an opinion on the merits of the dispute. In cases provided for by law, custody and guardianship authorities are entitled to perform the functions of a jurisdictional body, as well as to participate in proceedings as a defendant.
