As well as, it analyzes the importance of the Project Pai Presente, and its application in the Brazilian society, emphasizing if there really is a guardianship of the minor regarding affective abandonment, considering the historical and social aspects of paternity. With this aim, the analysis of the Brazilian doctrine and several scientific articles on the subject was used. Thus, it is up to education to change values regarding the role of parents in raising their children, where, at present, the father is still assigned a minor role in the creation of the infant.Acesso AbertoPaternidadeAfetividadeProjeto Pai PresenteReconhecimentoPaternityAffectivityProject Father PresentRecognitionTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCiências Sociais AplicadasDireito
