The problems indicated in the original text of the Parental Alienation Law and the changes brought by Law n. 14.340/22: more of the same?

Abstract

Abstract: This scientific article dealt with the changes made by Law n. 14.340/22, in the original text of the Parental Alienation Law, in order to alleviate or extinguish problems such as allegations of gender inequality in the justifications of sexual abuse, lack of trained professionals for psychological studies in children and adolescents victims of alienation, protective measures applied by the magistrate, but of low effectiveness, as well as the inclusion of special testimony for infant victims. The applied methodology was hypothetical-deductive and qualitative, with bibliographical analysis of works, scientific articles and manifestos. We observe that the changes related to Law n. 14,340/22 were mild, still not effectively resolving the points mentioned above, which depend massively on investment by the State and the Judiciary, in qualification and increase in the number of its professionals, in a swift, technical and effective performance.
