CARDOSO, Vanessa Silva  and  COSTA, Liana Fortunato. Judicial guard of grandchildren: time and money in the familiar interactions. Aletheia [online]. 2012, n.38-39, pp. 109-123. ISSN 1413-0394.

The text is about a qualitative research aiming at analyzing the changes in the familiar relations arising from the judicial guard of grandchildren, in dispute with their sons. In the text emphasis is placed in the section that points out the matters about time and money and their influences on these relations. For the elaboration of the data semi structured interviews and home visit were utilized. Six families participated in the research, in a context of psychosocial evaluation of a great capital Family Court. The results indicate that the processes involving great parents as applicants of the guard of a grandson maintain, in a veiled way, familiar conflicts and the judicial decision will not necessarily bring a resolution. It is understood that the judicial guard of grandchildren involve many paradoxes in relation to time and money. The guard of grandchildren may still represent a challenge of adaptation for the elder as a consequence of his moment in the life cycle.
