Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the possibility of civil liability for affective abandonment. For this purpose purpose the work was divided 3 (three) chapters. Initially, we analyzed the role and evolution of affectivity within the Brazilian legal system, demonstrating that affection has changed from a moral value to a category of legal principle. Another aspect studied concerns the issue of civil liability of family law, as well as its implications in this branch of law. Finally, we analyzed affective abandonment and the possibility of holding the parents responsible for not fulfilling the duties of care and affection in relation to offspring. The methodology used comprised bibliographic and documentary research, as well as exploratory research was used in relation to the projected objectives. Finally, it was concluded that parents can be held responsible for the abandonment of affection for not fulfilling the duties imposed by the system law.
