O exercício das responsabilidades parentais em caso de divórcio e o problema da residência alternada

Abstract

Divorce ends the legal relationship of marriage, and with it, it is necessary to agree certain issues. One of these issues, is the regulation of the exercise of parental responsibilities in the case of minor children. This regulation includes several points, such as the establishment of the residence. Alternate residence is a model that is increasingly being used because it offers various advantages to the minors, including growing up in close contact with both parents. However, there will be circumstances that make it impossible to decree this model of residence. The decision will have to consider the specific circumstances of the family in question and child themselves, since all decisions that interfere with their life must take their best interests into account.
