What is the parental responsibility?
The rights of parental authority, as well as the duties, are materialized in essential decisions that affect the lives of minors such as education, health or emotional development. For example, which school the children should attend, whether or not they can go to communion, whether they should see a psychologist…
It is normal for both parents to exercise joint parental authority, except in those cases of deprivation of parental authority by the judge, which only take place in particularly serious situations such as putting the children and their assets at physical or emotional risk.
However, what happens if the parents do not agree on any issue of parental authority?
In case the parents do not agree on the exercise of parental authority, one of them can go to court in order for the judge to assess the issue and decide which parent is the most suitable to decide in the best interest of the child and in accordance with the existing circumstances.
