A (im) possibilidade da prisão civil do devedor de alimentos na execução do crédito alimentar indenizatório no direito brasileiro

Abstract

The present monograph aims to investigate the possibility of imposing civil imprisonment on debtors of indemnity food credits, since the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil did not expressly stipulate which types of maintenance obligations to subject the debtor to the imposition of civil imprisonment. To this end, this paper seeks to analyze the history of Brazilian law and the concept of civil imprisonment, as well as other topics that relate to this peculiar legal institute. Then, the concept, characteristics and classifications of the types of food, as well as contemporary food species, will also be analyzed in order to lay the foundations for the jurisprudential examination of the possibility or not of civil imprisonment in the execution of the indemnity food debtor in the Brazilian law. Ultimately, it will be examined whether or not it is possible to establish certain criteria for the payment of the civil imprisonment of the support debtor.
