Abstract:
The history of family law, as well as the family institute itself, has been gradually
developing, and in line with this development, it is observed that the family has been
adapting to new realities, as well as developing new needs that need to be regulated
by the Brazilian legal system. With these new needs, conflicts also emerge, such as
parental alienation, which is an institute used by one parent to create a negative
perspective in the child and/or adolescent, in relation to the other parent, violating the
rights of minors, who are widely defended by the Child and Adolescent Statute.
Therefore, this work's main objective was to analyze the family institute and Parental
Alienation Law, considering its importance, as it is a situation that directly violates the
rights of children and adolescents. The specific objectives of this work include the
conceptualization of family law, addressing its origin and also its nature, as well as its
particularities, the analysis of Parental Alienation Law and finally the analysis of the
update of this law, brought about by Law Nº. 14,340 /2022, presenting criticisms and
bills seeking its repeal. This work is divided into three chapters, each with a different
theme, but within family law. The first chapter approached the historicity family’s law
and its influences, as well as its fundamental principles. The second chapter
portrayed family power and what derives from this power, the administration and
enjoyment of the assets of non-emancipated minor children, in addition to the
concept of suspension, dismissal and extinction of this power. The third chapter, in
turn, deals with the legislation itself regarding the Parental Alienation Law, identifies
the types of custody adopted in the Brazilian legal system, and analyzes the updates
to Law Nº. 12,318/2010 and the draft laws against it. The work follows the deductive
methodology, starting with the contextualization of the family’s law historicity, the
modifications to this right in accordance with the development of Brazilian legislation,
its fundamental principles, going through the exercise power’s family and finally the
analysis of updates to the Parental Alienation Law, through a qualitative approach
through bibliographical and documentary research. It is therefore concluded that
although there are criticisms of Parental Alienation Law, which defend its repeal,
there are experts who disagree and doctrinal understandings that highlight the
importance of said law. Therefore, it reflects the need for this issue to be debated by
society, so that they understand the entire context, and create interest in effectively
protecting children and adolescents.
