Abandono afetivo inverso e a responsabilidade civil dos ascendentes perante seus descendentes

Abstract

This course conclusion research aims to expose the problem involving emotional abandonment and the civil responsibility of adult children towards their elderly parents. Some scholars still disagree about the reparation of immaterial damage, because, although legal liability exists, the trauma suffered and the loss of affection can never be remedied. Therefore, the objective of this work is to discuss the issue by establishing forms of protection for the elderly and holding those who should actually care for the well-being of this group responsible. The increase in cases involving reverse emotional abandonment is due to population growth, however the responsibility does not only fall on adult children, but also on the community and state. The judiciary only has the duty to guarantee the rights of this class. In this way, we sought to analyze as many works as possible that dealt with the topic, with the aim of organizing the most varied opinions. Finally, the methodology establishes presenting, in a clear and didactic way, an overview of the different understandings adopted by jurisprudence, doctrine, as well as in scientific articles published on the internet.
