English term or phrase: personal law of the child
Laws and regulations that deal with any matters pertaining to children. "personal law of the child" does not sound good for me. How can it be rephrased?

Thank you!

English translation:personal law relating to children
Explanation:
Personal law is the part of law that deals with matters pertaining to a person and his or her family, the particular area that deals with matters pertaining to a child I think is the personal law relating to children. So I suggest plural instead of singular. See examples:

As a result of the work of this commission, a children’s code was adopted by Ohio in 1913.
