Abstract

The multi-species family concept involves the inclusion of pets as members of the family nucleus, therefore requiring legal protection and regulation, as it is seen as a new type of family. In Ecuador. The specific part of the civil issue that was addressed in this investigation is the possible recognition within the Ecuadorian regulations of a new type of family, the so-called multi-species family, based on the constitutional recognition of the family in its various forms, since the fact that pets within the home are linked by ties of affection and responsibility is becoming more important every day. After analyzing this issue, it is concluded that within our legislation only animals are recognized as subjects of law, which require protection and even mistreatment towards them is typified within the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code, but no section includes them in Family Law and to achieve recognition as such, the effects and relationships within obligations, successions, among others, which are issues that directly concern the family in the field of Law, must be analyzed and regulated.
