Family and parenting in the 21st century

an analysis of how to solve new divergencies together with psychology

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the issue of family and parenthood in the 21st century, and its numerous changes that have also transformed litigation. Thus, the study is in line with the Federal Constitution of 1988 and its new family relations, socio-affectivity and multiparenting, as well as the Parental Alienation Law and its controversial points, which has even been recently modified, among other issues pertinent to the Right to Family and its disagreements. However, there is a question of how to resolve such disagreements. It is at this moment that two distinct areas come together to resolve conflicts: Psychology and Law. Therefore, in this article, the role of psychologists in the Family Courts and how expertise works within these processes will be discussed. The methodology used consists of a qualitative approach, of a descriptive nature, with the carrying out of documentary research, through the analysis of documents, that is, legislation and the carrying out of bibliographical research, in order to cross-reference the data for interpretation, substantiating the search. As a result, it is observed that the moment demands even more interdisciplinarity between Law and Psychology, considering litigations never seen before, a new generation of children immersed in social networks, rapid changes in families in Brazil and the need to preserve dignity everyone in the family environment.
