O VALOR JURÍDICO DO ABANDONO PATERNAL À LUZ DO PRINCÍPIO DA AFETIVIDADE: o Direito do lado esquerdo do peito.

Abstract

The new "right of families", permeated by the appreciation of affection on family ties, represented by recent decision of the Superior Court of Justice, introduced a new compensation mode due to the absence of parental affection, recognizing that the emotional abandonment has legal force, constituting a violation of the fundamental right to affection wrapped up by the Federal Constitution. That s because, until very recently, the law had never bothered to offer an answer to the children emotionally abandoned by their parents, but now, after years and years of inaction, the judiciary, finally, brings the sales of their eyes, consecrating the family as affection and solidarity within nest among its members. The fact is that the emotional abandonment is priceless and never will, because money can never erase the memories of the children rejected unexcused absences parents in moments that will never return. However, as these situations were common, the judiciary only now woken up to them. This new understanding, fruit of neoconstitutionalism and irradiation of the rules on family, strode in not patrimonialization of family ties by recognizing that affection is essential in achieving the dignity of the human person, breaking a traditionalist doctrine that only saw the father obligation the only duty to pay maintenance, leaving released from any obligation with respect to another child. The law could not force the father to love his son, but did what was within his reach, recognizing that the greatest contribution that a parent can offer your child is affection, presence, care and support, not only offering you goods that money can buy, but, above all, providing you with care, which is nothing more than a commitment to ensure affection.
