Abstract

The objective is to analyze the importance of affection in family relationships, in the healthy development of child or adolescent, and to understand how the absence of affection can generate future psychological problems. Still, it seeks to highlight how the affective abandonment by parents, culminates in indemnity for moral damages, since the abandonment has legal implications duly supported in the legal system. Through bibliographical and documentary review, was performed a survey of theoretical references such as books, scientific articles and the current Brazilian legislation. It is concluded that even without having a specific law that approach the issue, there are several Brazilian jurisprudence that are well founded for claiming indemnity for moral damages in cases of affective abandonment, as a form of compensation for the damage suffered.
