A guarda compartilhada como meio de preservação dos vínculos familiares à luz do princípio do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente

Abstract

This work analyzes shared custody as an instrument for preserving family ties, demonstrating its normative evolution and its direct relationship with the principle of the best interests of the child and adolescent. The study aims to examine the transformation of Brazilian family law, the consolidation of parental co-responsibility, and the role of the Judiciary in implementing this custody model. The methodology adopted consists of bibliographic and documentary research, with analysis of legislation, specialized doctrine, recent jurisprudence, and recommendations from the National Council of Justice. The results show that shared custody represents a significant advance in the protection of family life, favoring the emotional and social development of the child, provided it is applied based on technical criteria and with interdisciplinary support. It concludes that the effectiveness of shared custody depends on cooperation between parents, adequate conflict mediation, and judicial commitment to the comprehensive protection of minors, highlighting the need for flexible solutions centered on the child's well-being.
