As famílias simultâneas e o entendimento dos tribunais pátrios

Abstract

The historical and cultural set we live nowadays admits the diversity of family entities, providing protection to the most varied ways of affective relationships. In the opposite situation are the concurrent families, considered as such the relationship that occurs simultaneously with the marriage or the stable union, and which the Law gives no support at all. Therefore, it is necessary to counterbalance the affectivity principle - that runs the family relations currently - with the monogamy principle, found in our culture and our law. In this sense, the demand for the “legalization” of parallel relationships has grown increasingly. The factual situation occurs every day, at the sight and knowledge of all and, in the search for the answers, we resort to the judiciary courts. This paper, through monographic research, analyzes the jurisprudence of the Courts and the High Courts of the country, concluding how the judges face the issue of concurrent families, as well as analyzes this institute in a doctrinal and followed by principles way.
