Material abandonment in support trial versus the right to the defense of the alien

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze material abandonment in the process of setting alimony in Ecuador. The approach used is qualitative, with an inductive logic to collect information through documentary analysis of various bibliographic sources, in order to determine the legal foundations, as well as the constitutional rights of the provider and the fed, in relation to the right to defense of both parties and the preponderance of the best interests of children and adolescents. The research allowed determining that there is an interpretative imbalance of a procedural nature, due to the fact that, although the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador establishes that all Ecuadorians are equal before the law, there are different appreciations and the vulnerability to which children and adolescents are exposed is taken into account.
