Responsabilidade civil por abandono paternal

Abstract

This Final Course Work discusses the civil liability of paternal abandonment. To this end, a study was conducted on emotional abandonment, with regard to family relationships, addressing the possible consequences in the life of the child and the moral compensation that can be claimed by the child who suffered from the emotional absence of his/her father. Within our society, there has been a large increase in the number of children and adolescents who have been abandoned by their parents (fathers), who fail to provide the necessary support and affection, thus leaving all responsibility for raising the minor and adolescent to the care of the mothers alone, mothers who in many cases have great financial difficulties. There is a deficit in our internal legal system regarding legal support for children who feel psychologically harmed by this paternal abandonment. Finally, we will address the importance of the active presence of relatives with regard to the healthy development of children within the scope of parental responsibilities. We will seek to understand the viability of the civil liability of the parent for failure to fulfill his/her duty as a father. We will discuss this topic in three chapters. In the first chapter, we will focus on the institute of civil liability; in the second chapter, we will address parental authority; and in the third and final chapter, civil liability for paternal abandonment.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
