The article examines the concept of digital justice in resolving family disputes. The use

of new technologies in judicial activities poses challenges for researchers in defining the

main features and components of digital justice. The aim of the research is to consider

the implementation of digital technologies in judicial activities related to family disputes,

identify the main components and features of digital justice, and propose a concept of

digital justice based on gathered characteristics. Research methods are based on the

analysis of a limited range of studies, which were selected according to specific

parameters and comprehensively examined; analogy method and comparative analysis

Principles of digital justice have been developed, which serve as basic ideas and

guarantee the effective resolution of disputes in the field of family relations.

activities, with interest in digitizing justice for family disputes, as civil litigation is the

most demanded form of justice (Linant de Bellefonds, 1994). Digital justice becomes a

useful tool for resolving family disputes as it allows for simplification and acceleration of

the process. Many countries offer the possibility of filing divorce or other family-related

documents online, significantly saving time and effort, especially if both parties agree to

the divorce (Velicogna, 2014, 2018). Hearings on family matters are conducted via video

conferencing, eliminating the need for physical presence, which is particularly useful if

the parties live in different cities or countries. Some countries utilize algorithms to

automate judicial decisions, such as property division or child custody determination,

helping to avoid human errors and expedite decision-making processes (Bilousov et al.,

The aim of this study is to explore the implementation of digital technologies in

judicial activities related to family disputes, identify the main components and features

of digital justice, and propose a concept of digital justice based on gathered

characteristics.

Analyzing digital justice for family disputes, experts note the benefits of online

hearings and digital tools, providing remote access to services, a clear way to interact

with the court, and the ability to receive information about case progress remotely

(Alarie et al., 2018). Describing the activities of digital justice, researchers paid special

attention to its main features, which allow not only to highlight the advantages of a

digital judicial system but also to provide a complete picture of the new legal

proceedings. These features include:

- Technological feature: the use of digital technologies and their integration into

Digital access to the court is the opportunity for individuals and organizations to use

Experts have sufficiently detailed the advantages of digitizing justice for family

disputes in their works. Based on the main conclusions of researchers, we will thoroughly

analyze and supplement the main theses presented in scientific papers, as well as

formulate the concept of digital justice for family disputes based on components,

Overall, supporting the features characterizing the activities of digital justice in family

The transition in judicial activities from paper document flow to electronic has occurred

- Simplification of control and management: In electronic document management, it

is easier to track all changes and versions of documents, simplifying the process of

However, it is important to remember that the introduction of new technologies into

the judicial system may face a number of problems, such as data security, ethical issues,

significant role in resolving family disputes. Therefore, difficulties may arise in the

digitalization of justice when replacing face-to-face contacts with virtual interactions.

However, this fact by no means diminishes the importance of introducing digital

technologies into the judicial process and cannot serve as an obstacle to further digitizing

family justice.

Identifying the main components and features of digital justice allows us to formulate

basic principles for conducting judicial proceedings in family disputes with the integration

of digital technologies. The identified principles are oriented towards family disputes,

where personal contacts play a significant role, which are difficult to replace with virtual

interactions. However, in general, these principles can serve as basic ideas for digital
