Abstract. According to today's statistics, it is known that the number of divorces has increased as a result of the increase in troubled families in our Republic. That is, 24,565 families divorced in January-June 2022, and 25,422 families divorced in January-June 2023. It is natural that single-parent families also arise as a result of family separation. The increase in the number of single-parent families and the growing up of children in them without parents is a big socio-economic, spiritual, socio-psychological and pedagogical problem that is manifested not only in Uzbekistan, but also in all developed and developing countries.
