Abstract: The thesis is about "Determining the place of residence and rights and responsibilities of a juvenile child in the case of parental divorce" which focuses on one of the most acute and always controversial problems in our country. In Georgia, there are frequent cases when the parents of a juvenile are divorced or living separately and can not agree about with whom to stay their child to raise. Judicial practice in this regard is common and in every new case are made largely different decisions. There are exceptions when there is no dispute between the parents and they decide for themselves with whom the juvenile should be brought up, so the analysis of each case is considered. In this thesis, we have discuss about the protection of the interests of the juvenile, the involvement of the guardianship and custodial authority , which plays a major role in the decision-making process by the court, as it is crucial for them to thoroughly study the case and determine the psychological state of the child and the essence of the interim order issued by the court, as well as the consideration of the interests of the juveniles in determining their place of residence. The research also covers the definition of parental rights and responsibilities in the above case, which is one of the most important issue. Also, there is a little attention about situation not only in Georgia, but also in other countries in this regard.

Keywords: Taking into account the interests of a juvenile, Rights and responsibilities of a divorced parent, The role of temporary decision,
