ABANDONO AFETIVO INVERSO: OS REFLEXOS NA ESFERA CÍVEL

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze inverse affective abandonment and civil liability in the face of such conduct. Inverse affective abandonment is a legal fact of significant social value, since it has become increasingly common for elderly people to live in precarious conditions, living in long-term care homes, or on their own, surviving as best they can and away from family life, resulting in numerous damaging effects on their mental health, due to the rejection of those who have a legal duty of care, It is unquestionably important to study this issue in order to inform and provide clarification to society on the subject, as well as being extremely relevant for legal practitioners, seeking to expand knowledge about the legal consequences of non-compliance with the obligation to care for children in relation to their parents. In light of the above, contemporary doctrine interprets the values and principles that govern the contemporary family, with affection becoming extremely important in this environment, consolidating the dignity of the human person. Thus, since the reciprocal obligation of care between parents and children is evident in the legislation, civil liability arises and, consequently, compensation for moral damages for affective abandonment is made possible.
