Abandono afetivo inverso e a possibilidade de responsabilização civil dos filhos.

Abstract

The aging of the Brazilian population is a reality, and as a result, society begins to face some problems that were not previously identified. The present work proposes a study of one of these problems that currently provoke a wide discussion in the legal environment, it is the reverse affective abandonment. The lack of affective support and family life can cause the elderly serious physical and psychological problems, therefore, it is necessary to verify the possibility of civil liability of children for the practice of emotional abandonment. To this end, the protection given to the elderly in Brazilian legislation, the consequences caused by emotional abandonment and the civil liability institute were listed. Through bibliographic research, in laws, doctrines, articles and other pertinent sources, a certain conclusion was reached. Although there is no specific law that typifies the conduct of reverse affective abandonment, such conduct is liable to condemnation, as it has the assumptions of civil liability.
