Abstract
Society’s demographic, social, economic and cultural transformations have influenced family life. In terms of family structure types, the increase in single parenthood consists of a world-wide phenomenon that presents itself in a scale of different magnitudes, even in the context of Latin America. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the single-parent family under its legal and interdisciplinary aspects.To this end, this study sought to identify the extent to which this object is found in the national and Ibero-American literature, and to discuss the single-parent family according to the Brazilian legal framework. It takes into consideration the large period of time single-parent families have spent on the fringes of protection by the Brazilian State, and how the ramifications arisen out of this family configuration continue to demand innovation from Brazilian non-constitutional legislation. Single parenthood has been studied from an interdisciplinary perspective by the applied social sciences, human sciences and health sciences. Among this category’s multiple dimensions explored in the literature, the different ways in which state protection is offered to single-parent family members, the circumstances of social and economic vulnerability to which they are submitted, and the dynamics within the family are highlighted. This study is believed to contribute to the current body of knowledge on single parenthood.
