Abstract [en]

In recent years, several cases have been brought to attention in media where children have been harmed while interacting with a violent parent. In some cases, the child has died due to the violence. The aim of this study is to analyze how district courts considers the best interest of the child in decisions regarding visitation rights where there is alleged or proven violence against the child. Examples from a well-known Swedish case “the case of Tintin” is used. Previous research was gathered through a literature search in the databases Scopus and Discovery. The method used was a qualitative literature analysis of seventeen verdicts concerning decisions on visitation rights. The theories that were used were the attachment theory and developmental ecology. Results showed that the best interest of the child is assessed differently in different courts and the right to both parents tend to outweigh the safety of the child. 

Abstract [sv]

Under de senaste åren har flera fall uppmärksammats i media där barn har farit illa vid umgänge med en våldsam förälder. I några av fallen har barnet dött till följd av våldet. Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur tingsrätten tar barnets bästa i beaktande vid beslut om umgängesrätt där det påstås eller bevisligen har förekommit våld mot barnet. Exempel från ett känt svenskt fall vid namn ”fallet Tintin” används för att belysa det valda ämnet. Genom en litteratursökning i databaserna Scopus och Discovery inhämtades tidigare forskning. Metoden som användes var en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av sjutton domar rörande beslut om umgängesrätt. Teorierna som användes var anknytningsteorin och utvecklingsekologin. Resultatet visade att barnets bästa bedöms olika i olika tingsrätter och rätten till båda föräldrar tenderar att väga tyngre än barnets säkerhet.
