Famílias reconstituídas: análise jurídica acerca do exercício da autoridade parental.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a study about the parental authority in blended families, understood as those resulting from a second marriage, in which, one of the spouses has offspring from an anterior relationship. In order to archive it, it's made a legal analysis of this new family arrangement, using the deductive method, the evolutionary and historical monographic procedure, and as a research technique, the literature. The use of these criteria aims to show the possibility of the exercise of the parental authority by parents as a complementary way, based on socioaffective parenthood and in the legal value of affection. It's also being discussed as a consequence of this exercise the attribution of juridical effects to the relationships stablished between parents and offspring, justified by the principles of human being dignity, of dignity and preservation of the minor interest, as well as the kinship and socioaffective bond, and the aim to possess the custody of the offspring.
