Os desafios do poder judiciário na proteção da criança e do adolescente em face da alienação parental

Abstract

This monograph aims to analyse the enforcement mechanisms used by the judiciary branch of government in combating parental alienation, originated in the dissolution of the affectional bond between the couple. This alienation is characterized by the destruction of the image of a parent engendered, as a rule, by the other parent or a relative who holds the custody of the child, bringing him serious psychological consequences. Initially, considerations are made about the transformations of family relations, as well as on the concept and the origins of Parental Alienation. Next, we analyze the legal and constitutional protection dedicated to children and youths. Finally, this monograph discusses the posture and the challenges of the judiciary in the application of the punitive mechanisms brought by Law No. 12.318/2010, in view, beyond the need for responsiveness in these cases, the necessary interaction with psychology to detect, punish and combat Parental Alienation.
