Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone

The present article contributes to the discussions regarding the prerrogatives of paternity, under the aspect of valuing paternal functions, the limitation of rights & the affirmation of the paternal duties. A provocative polemic has been installed stemming from the eclosion of judicial demands in which children denounce the affective, psychic & moral abandon suffered from their fathers, claiming reparations for damages caused, all in court. Some of the children demand financial remunerations to compensate affective abandon. Others, claiming that a father can't be forced to love or live with a child, oppose claiming for financial compensations. They state that, once living up to the function of providing alimony, a father would be exempt from his obligations towards the child. However, a person needs more than bread to survive . References.
