    This document analyzes the rights of minors and adults and their obligations within poliamorous unions in Colombia, approaching legal difficulties and lack of regulations for this kind of families. Even if both the Colombian Constitution and legislation have made steps towards the recognition of family diversity, there still is a major legal gap when it comes to poliamorous families. These gaps directly affect the rights of children, since it is only legally allowed for their recognition from two parents, limiting their access to law based protection, legal parentage, child support and parental authority. Also, it is suggested that a necessity exists for a reform in Colombian legislation to include poliamorous families within legal frames following the examples of other countries where significant steps have been taken towards the recognition of multi-parenthood. These reforms should be centered around the principle of the superior interest of the child, guaranteeing that all the adults that perform a parental role in a child’s life can be legally recognized and assume equal responsibilities. It is proposed that mechanisms such as the widening of the concept of family to include more than two parents within it, the legal recognition of cohabitation agreements and the creation of inclusive laws that adapt to new family realities. The study concludes that legal adaptation is fundamental to guarantee the protection of minor’s rights in Colombia, recognizing the diversity of family structures and ensuring that all children receive the support and protection that they deserve, independently to the family type that they grow up in.
