Problems related to evidence on each one of the moments of evidentiary activity in family law proceeding

Abstract

 This article aims to draw attention to the discussion regarding the moments of
evidentiary activity, and the problems that each one of those steps could engender, to family
law process, specifically to the reformed proceedings enshrined in the Act Nº 19.968. In ac-
cordance with its structure and ruling principles, it is possible to acknowledge the moments
of conformation, evaluation and the application of a standard of proof, evidencing the prob-
lems and risks attached to every stage of the corroborative activity performed by parties and
adjudicators. This work expects to present and describe, with no exhaustive ambition, some
of the aforementioned issues, taking charge of the unsatisfactory application of evidence law
to family proceedings given the recent increase of powers entrusted to Family Courts.
