Paternidade socioafetiva.

Abstract

The present monographic work aims to address family law with emphasis on the institute of socio-affective paternity, aiming to analyze the way in which social and affective bonds have been evaluated as predominant in relation to consanguinity bonds. In this context, when socio-affective paternity is recognized, the implications for the child were sought to be verified and whether there is a possibility of deconstructing socio-affective filiation. To accomplish this task, the deductive method and bibliographic research technique were used. In the course of the work, an approach to the concept of family throughout history was carried out, as well as its modalities and principles. In addition, the topic of filiation was analyzed, with emphasis on the modalities of filiation and the ways of recognizing filiation. Next, socio-affective paternity is approached, presenting its general aspects, the importance of affection, possession of the status of a child, Brazilian-style adoption, and the irrevocability of socio-affective filiation. It is concluded that affection plays a crucial role in the evolution of family relationships, which are maintained and developed through affective bonds.
