RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL POR ABANDONO AFETIVO PARENTAL E A DIFICULDADE DE SUA APLICAÇÃO NOS CASOS CONCRETOS

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the applicability and need for civil liability, as well as compensation for moral damage, in cases of parental emotional abandonment. As justification, the study is based on the importance of parental presence in the cognitive-psychological formation of the individual and existing doctrinal divergences on the topic, especially on its appropriateness. The research uses a bibliographical review methodology in works and articles by authors from psychology, law, and jurisprudential analysis of Brazilian courts of justice in decisions handed down within specific cases. In the end, the article seeks to contribute to the discussion about the appropriateness of civil liability in cases of socio-affective abandonment and the difficulties in its application, as well as reflecting on its need.
