RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL POR ABANDONO AFETIVO PARENTAL

Abstract

This work addresses Civil Liability for Parental Emotional Neglect. This approach is justified by the need to understand how the lack of affection and care from parents can legally impact family relationships and individual development. The objective of this study is to analyze parental civil liability in cases of emotional neglect and the resulting legal implications. This aim will be achieved through a literature review and the examination of relevant judicial cases that illustrate the practical application of the norms concerning this issue. The analysis demonstrated that, although Brazilian legislation is still developing regarding emotional neglect, courts have advanced in understanding how the absence of emotional support can affect children's psychological development and stability, leading to legal consequences for parents. The final considerations highlight the growing importance of legally recognizing emotional neglect as a relevant factor in parental civil liability and suggest the need for further regulation to adequately address these situations.
