Abstract:
The present work aims to answer the following question: How important is the
recognition of new family arrangements in the Brazilian legal system to ensure the
realization of fundamental rights for the best interests of the child? Family law is the
branch of law that has changed most over time, from variations of familiar entity
forms to the rights recognized by them. In this tunnel, there is the institute of
multiparentality, the fruit of these social changes, and with it the recognition of its
importance by doctrines and jurisprudence. Although this new family entity does not
have its own mechanism to regulate the rights and duties for its members, it is
imperative that the doctrine and jurisprudence seek scaling up in International
Treaties such as the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Child, as one of the
norms to protect the Constitution Federal law and the current Civil Code, thus
creating a proper legal system, apt and sensitive issues inherent to this new family
scope.
