Abstract

This work makes a doctrinal approach, jurisprudential, supranational normative, comparative law and the Nicaraguan legal order, on the right of the child or adolescent to be heard, in particular; on their manifestation in the family jurisdictional process. It then examines the family jurisdictional practice of first instance judges in different geographic poles and a second instance court in the capital in Nicaragua. This analysis has allowed us to identify legal gaps, successes and failures in the implementation of this right, for this reason; some guidelines of action for the homogenization in its implementation are offered, as it constitutes a procedural guarantee for children and adolescents in the Nicaraguan family court.
