DA？OS Y PERJUICIOS DERIVADOS DEL DIVORCIO: (doctrina y jurisprudencia en Argentina.)

this paper seeks to examine the scholarly and jurisprudential developments in argentina concerning compensation for damages caused by divorce. traditionally, family law was deemed impervious to the rules of tort. however, in recent years a new hermeneutic has appeared which applies the general principles of civil liability to damages arising from family relationships, and especially the losses caused by divorce. the paper takes into account developments in case law, scholarly writing and reforms to the civil code and the various solutions proposed to amalgamate the particular characteristics of family relations and family law, and the changes in the framework of modern law of damages. the paper addresses each option for liability (in contract or tort) and notes applicable jurisprudence.
