Through social advancement, new concepts, customs and values were instituted in our environment and diversified family molds took place in society, with the example of the homoaffective family, which will be focused on in this article. So that, after the emergence of this family constitution, social prejudice came with it, in which it segregated unusual families in view of the rest of the people and that for this reason sought legal support for protection that was their right, with that, after years of resistance by homo-affective families, there had been a need for the legal system to manifest itself, which in turn, through zetetics, used the principle of affection and the search for happiness as constitutional postulates recognizing and validating family plurality, not based only on law, but on affection. This article was based on ideas and theoretical assumptions that have significant importance in the definition and construction of concepts, it was used from secondary sources such as academic works, articles, books, doctrines and jurisprudence, proceeding from the analytical conceptual method.
