ResumoPartindo das lentes da psicologia sistémica, o presente estudo exploratório qualitativo propõe-se estudar as perspetivas de jovens adultos com pais separados e de magistrados do Tribunal de Família e Menores (TFM) acerca da adaptação à separação parental. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas a 10 jovens adultos com pais separados e 10 magistrados do TFM, analisadas através dos procedimentos de análise temática indutiva e dedutiva. Os resultados evidenciaram (1) o papel central da relação com e entre os pais na adaptação à separação parental, (2) a importância da relação do sistema familiar com os sistemas em que está inserido nesta fase, (3) a pertinência de pensar o papel dos magistrados nestes processos e (4) as potencialidades da mediação familiar como resposta às necessidades das famílias que passam por processos de separação. Os resultados são discutidos e analisados, tendo em conta as suas limitações e implicações.Palavras-chave: separação parental, adaptação, fatores de risco e de proteção
