Motivación en las sentencias emitidas por los jueces de primer nivel en Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis analyzes the judicial reasoning in rulings related to child support in Ecuador. Through a review of rulings issued by first-level judges, the normative and factual basis of the judicial decisions is analyzed, evaluating whether the reasoning is sufficient and appropriate according to Ecuadorian law and international human rights. Furthermore, the implications of a lack of reasoning and its impact on the rights of children and parents are highlighted, especially regarding the right to due process and judicial transparency. Based on the results obtained, recommendations are proposed to improve the training of judges in the reasoning behind their decisions, as well as to promote the use of alternative dispute resolution methods, such as conciliation, to expedite processes and reduce judicial costs. This work contributes to the reflection on justice in Ecuador and the need to guarantee clear and well-reasoned judicial decisions.
