“…Os códigos variavam nos seus detalhes, mas, basicamente, o homem poderia se divorciar da mulher, devolvendo-a, com o dote, ao lar de seus pais. Em alguns casos, a esposa podia se divorciar livremente; em outros, era necessário a aprovação de um comitê ou comprovação de violência doméstica 13 . Curiosamente, o pai da esposa poderia, a qualquer momento, requerer o divórcio, reavendo a filha e o dote.…”

Resumo A família é a base fundante da sociedade e o melhor local para a educação e o crescimento da criança. O divórcio é deletério à saúde das crianças, impactando sobretudo na saúde mental e no desempenho escolar, além ter reflexos na vida adulta. O convívio por período igualitário com pai e mãe após o divórcio – a guarda compartilhada – garante benefícios, empiricamente comprovados, ao bem-estar físico e psicológico das crianças. No entanto, muitas decisões judiciais decretam guarda compartilhada em menos de um terço das separações. Ao analisar controvérsias éticas e morais na inter-relação das ciências jurídicas com as ciências da saúde, o biodireito faz com que a bioética tenha eficácia. Por esse motivo, argumenta-se que ações judiciais de família devem seguir critérios multidisciplinares que considerem as crianças como sujeitos vulneráveis que precisam de proteção.

“…36 In addition, joint custody, blended families (stepfamilies), and parents in cohabiting relationships all became much more common beginning in the 1970s, 37 and over time they contributed to a dramatic increase in childcustody litigation. 38 Research suggests that it takes about two years for a child to adjust psychologically to parental divorce and upward of fi ve years to having a stepparent in the household. 39 A number of these children were diagnosed with adhd and/or another mental disorder (oft en Conduct Disorder).…”

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (adhd) holds the distinction of being both the most extensively studied pediatric mental disorder and one of the most controversial. This is partly due to the fact that it is also the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder among minors. Currently, almost 8 percent of youth from the ages of four to seventen have a diagnosis of ADHD, and slightly more than 4 percent both have the diagnosis and are taking medication for the disorder. In other words, on average one in every ten to fifteen children in the United States has been diagnosed with the disorder and one in every twenty to twenty-five uses a stimulant medication—often Ritalin, Adderall, or Concertaas treatment. The biggest increase in youth diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed a stimulant drug occurred during the early 1990s, when the prevalence of physician visits for stimulant pharmacotherapy increased fivefold. This unprecedented increase in U.S. children using psychotropic medication triggered an intense public debate.

“…The courts tended to give custody to the father or the mother depending on the norms of the day. Based on a tradition in English law giving the father absolute authority over the children, American courts in the early 1900s assumed the father to be the parent of choice (Weiner, 1985). By 1920, the law shifted in favor of maternal custody based on the tender-years doctrine (Roman & Haddad, 1978), a belief that mothers, then almost exclusively homemakers, were in the best position to care for children.…”

“…In 19 other states, statutory authority exists for judges to appoint GALs. In addition, the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act (1983) permits a judge to appoint GALs for children in contested divorce cases, and the use of GALs for children in divorce has steadily increased (Ellman, Kurtz, & Stanton, 1986;Krause, 1986;Weiner, 1985).…”

The guardian ad litem (GAL) for children in divorce is a relatively new role in this society. However, the role definition of the GAL is vague, and little is written in the literature about this advocate. This article discusses the history and available information about advocates for children in divorce and organizes various conceptualizations of this role along two continua: lawyer—psychologist, and child liberator—child saver.
