This paper aims to study and analyze the institution of compensatory alimony in the Brazilian legal context. Taking into consideration that the persistence of gender inequality after marital dissolution is an issue that undeniably deserves attention from the perspective of law and justice, it is pertinent to acknowledge that, frequently, in divorce or separation scenarios, women face a disproportionate burden regarding the responsibilities related to child custody and care, while financial obligations tend to fall upon the male spouse. This primarily stems from the patriarchal and sexist mentality that still prevails in the Federative Republic of Brazil. As a natural consequence of this situation, a reduction in the standard of living ensues as a result of the dissolution of the marital bond, albeit manifesting in a milder form for one of the parties involved. It is worth highlighting this matter when legal and regulatory provisions fail to ensure a fair and equitable allocation of resources and obligations. In this context, it is imperative to acknowledge that, in a lot of the cases analyzed, it was noted that women suffer adverse economic and emotional impacts after marital separation, underscoring the urgent need for legal and social reforms aimed to promote gender equality at all stages of marriage and the process of marital dissolution Therefore, the present research aims to deepen the understanding of the concept and purpose of compensatory alimony concerning brazilian´s law system. To achieve that, a meticulous analysis of the attributes, definition, and constitutive elements of this type of alimony was analyzed as well as its application by the Courts of Justice. This is especially relevant because the existing Brazilian legislation lacks specific provisions on the matter, leaving legal literature and court precedents to play a predominant role in addressing this issue and filling the normative gaps
