}}The Family Code of Russia ({{langx|ru|Семейный кодекс Российской Федерации}}, abbreviated as СК РФ) is the prime source of family law in the Russian Federation. It was passed by the State Duma on 8 December 1995, signed into law by President Boris Yeltsin on 29 December 1995, and came into force on 1 March 1996. It has been amended a number of times since then, most recently in June 2008.{{cite web |url=http://www.rg.ru/2008/07/03/semkodeks-izmenenie-dok.html |publisher=Rossiyskaya Gazeta |title=Федеральный закон Российской Федерации от 30 июня 2008 г.
