Abstract

ASTUDILLO MEZA, CONSTANZA. Case Law Criteria in the Chilean family Law for Providing Authorization to Leave the Country for Children and Adolescents and its relationship with the Principle of the Best Interest of the Child and its Extended Family. Rev. Derecho Privado [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.397-407.  Epub Nov 02, 2020. ISSN 0123-4366.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01234366.n39.16.

I analyze some Chilean Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal decisions regarding the authorization for children and adolescents to leave the country. This is regulated by Act 16.1618 which requires, as to grant the authorization, for the departure to prove beneficial for the children and adolescents. Here I analyze this benefit based on the best interest of the child and its extended family.

Keywords : authorization to leave the country; principle of the best interest of the child and adolescents; benefits; extended family.
