A obra explora a viabilidade de uma gestão preventiva na resp...
Direito de família e contratos entre namorados: será que existe uma sintonia entre eles ou, a depender do caso, um afastamento entre conceitos e princípios, em especial a autonomia privada e a união estável, por exemplo? A pergunta acima formulada, dentre outras várias que serão trazidas e respondidas na presente obra, tem ligação direta com o que atualmente se denomina de contrato de namoro, ou de escritura pública de namoro.
