A possibilidade jurídica de reconhecimento de múltiplos pais ou mães em situações de reprodução assistida e famílias homoafetivas.

Abstract

The present monographic study is dedicated to analyzing the legal recognition of multiparenthood, a topic that has gained prominence due to the growing diversity of contemporary family structures, such as those formed by same-sex couples and through assisted reproduction techniques. The main objective is to examine the legal feasibility of recognizing more than one mother or father in situations where biological and socio-affective bonds coexist. The central issue lies in determining whether the Brazilian legal system allows such recognition in civil registration, ensuring fundamental rights for children, such as inheritance, child support, and access to healthcare. This study adopts a qualitative approach, based on bibliographic research and case law analysis, as well as constitutional and infra-constitutional legislation and the guidelines of the Federal Council of Medicine. The analysis shows that Family Law in Brazil has gradually adapted to new social realities, recognizing affective ties as legally relevant, along with the principles of human dignity and the best interests of the child. It concludes that, despite the absence of specific legislation, Brazilian jurisprudence has evolved to admit multiparenthood as a means of ensuring full protection of children and adolescents.
