Os reflexos da pandemia da covid-19 sobre o dever de prestar alimentos: uma análise sobre a efetividade da prisão domiciliar do devedor de alimentos

Abstract

With the arising of a pandemic that was abble to devastate the world and the Brazil, the Judiciary needed to restructure itself, seeking solutions to the most urgent demands, as the epidemiological crisis caused by covid-19 harmed all fields of the brazilian law. One of the most affected points with the pandemic was the alimony institute, which saw its implementation measures undergo several changes since the emergence of the virus on Brazilian land. As a result, the biggest enforcement tool to satisfy child support lost its power. The civil prison went through several approvals, in a certain period it was converted into house arrest, in another it was just suspended. The suspension of incarceration brought mainly concern about the health of the debtor, in times of health crisis, leaving the creditor's dignity in the background in many cases. The debate deals with the decisions and recommendations made with the main scope of the debtor's health security, in the face of the child without alimony during the pandemic, and without legal possibilities to satisfy their problem.
