Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the reasons which lead some fathers to abdicate the paternity at the
end of their marital relationship. Five fathers integrated this study and participated in family mediation
in a Law Practice Center and that over the appointments with the Psychology team have shown having
little or no contact with their children. The research employed a qualitative method, using semistructured
interviews with open-ended questions. The results point out the difficulty of some men to
accept a child who comes in at a moment not considered by them to be the ideal one. Moreover, some
of them mention obstacles which make the access to their children difficult, thus harming the exercise
of fatherhood.
