A MULTIPARENTALIDADE E SEUS EFEITOS SEGUNDO TRÊS PRINCÍPIOS FUNDAMENTAIS DO DIREITO DE FAMÍLIA

Abstract

The paper analyzes "multiparenting" as simultaneity of parenting relations among at least more than two parents and their children, and it is a relevant topic to understand contemporary family. The legal recognition of "Multiparenting" is a result of the application of plurality of families, affectivity and the best interest of the child principles, which are object of the paper's first section. Thereafter, the study analyses judicial decisions and Legal effects arising from this relationship. "Multiparenting" has been recently recognized by Brazilian's Supreme Court (STF), however, there are emerging doubts about its limits and possibilities of aprehension by Law, as well as its Legal effectiveness.
