Controversies in the exercise of parental authority
Disputes in the exercise of parental authority: important decisions, legal solutions
Even if one parent has custody of the minors, both typically retain parental authority (also called parental rights), which means they must jointly make important decisions in their children’s lives: education, healthcare, moving, trips abroad, extracurricular activities, among others.
When an agreement cannot be reached, these differences can become a real conflict that affects the child. At Carmen Varela, Abogados de Familia, we help you manage these disputes legally and effectively, either by seeking a consensual solution or, if there is no agreement, by going to court to resolve the disagreement for the benefit of the child or adolescent involved.
Our approach: child protection and effective conflict resolution
At Carmen Varela, Abogados de Familia, we approach disputes over parental authority with a focus on the best interests of children and adolescents, always seeking to preserve their stability, well-being, and overall development.
We know that these situations generate tension between parents, so we prioritize dialogue and mediation whenever possible, helping to find reasonable solutions without the need to take the conflict to court. However, when there is no agreement and the impasse is detrimental to the child, we act swiftly to go to court and request judicial authorization to make the necessary decision.
Our goal is to offer you a clear, prompt, and respectful legal response that puts an end to the conflict and protects both your rights and those of the child.
