Abstract [en]

This study aimed to analyze how the Court of Appeal takes the child's best interest intoaccount when considering a custody transfer decision in favor of the family homeparents. The analysis of this study´s chosen Court of Appeal judgements were codedthrough a thematic analysis to gather recurring patterns in the Court of Appealsestablishment of the child's best interest. Some of the most recurring patterns that thestudy concluded were the child's needs, the child's own will on the basis of age andmaturity, the biological parents adequacy as well as if there had been any functioningaccess between the biological parents and the child during the time of placement in thefamily home. The results were analyzed through the attachment theory as well as antheory of legal interpretation, which led to an understanding of the part attachmenttheory plays in custody cases, both the child's attachment to its biological parents andfamily home parents. The study could also conclude that the interpretation of the child'sbest interest in a legal matter depended on how the child's legal role was considered bythe Court of Appeal. The consideration of the child's best interest were seen to varybetween cases that led to an transfer of custody for the family home parents and caseswhere the custody transfer were rejected, based on what the Court of Appeal consideredthe Child´s best interesest to be in each particular case.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie syftade till att analysera hur hovrätten beaktar barnets bästa i rättsfall somgäller vårdnadsöverflytt till familjehemsföräldrar. Studiens valda hovrättsdomar analyserades utifrån en tematisk analys Återkommande mönster i hur hovrätten argumenterade för-, och fastställde barnets bästa i sin bedömning eftersöktes. Några av de meståterkommande mönstren tematiserades under rubrikerna barnets behov, barnets egenvilja utifrån ålder och mognad, de biologiska föräldrarnas lämplighet och ett fungerande umgänge under tiden för placering. Resultatet analyserades utifrån ett anknytningsteoretiskt- och ett rättsteoretiskt perspektiv, vilket bidrog till en djupare analys avanknytningens roll i en vårdnadsöverflytt, både barnets anknytning till de biologiskaföräldrarna såväl som till familjehemsföräldrarna. Även framkom det att beroende påhur hovrätten ser barnets roll i en rättslig process, så varierar tolkningen av barnetsbästa. Hur hovrätten beaktade barnets bästa skiljde sig i de domar som kom att leda tillen vårdnadsöverflytt, kontra de domar som kom att leda till ett avslag i frågan om envårdnadsöverflytt på så sätt att det som ansågs vara barnets bästa, skiljde sig från fall tillfall.
