A verdade dividida: A des(confiança) e o jogo de sensibilidades na busca pela filiação paterna.

The objective of this work is, based on the practice of the Center for the Promotion of Affiliation and Fatherhood (NPF), to present an ethnographic study on the different moralities, sensitivities and notions of truth that are articulated and tensioned between the mother who were summoned and professionals around the standart procedures of spontaneous recognition. The methodology adopted relied on the observation of the work routine, the conciliation hearings, analysis of interviews as well as the conversations in the waiting room. As other researchs points out, the legal sphere can be seen as an arena of disputed moralities in which users bring their own morality and strategies of resistance to the scene, which ends up competing with the official legality of the search for paternal affiliation.
