A Multiparentalidade no Direito Brasileiro e seus Efeitos Juridicos

Abstract

The research addresses the evolution of the concept of family in Brazil, which has moved away from the traditional and patriarchal model to be based on affective bonds and human dignity. In this context, multiparenthood emerges as the legal recognition of multiple parentage ties, which can be biological and/or socio-affective. The main objective of the study is to analyze the concept of multiparenthood, the constitutional principles that support it, and its legal implications in Family and Succession Law. The central research problem is to identify the main challenges and legal gaps resulting from the absence of specific legislation on the subject in Brazil. The study seeks to understand how jurisprudence has acted to mitigate these impasses, especially with regard to succession law. The research adopts an exploratory approach, based mainly on bibliographic research and analysis of case law. The study is based on court decisions, national provisions, and doctrinal contributions, including scientific articles, monographs, and theses.

Keywords: Family Law; Succession Law; Socioaffective Parenthood; Multiparenthood.
