Cap. 16 Art. 57Right of spouses to watch over maintenance of children.

(1) Whosoever may be the person to whom the minor children are entrusted, the spouses shall maintain their right to watch over their maintenance and education, and shall still be bound to contribute thereto, according to law:

Provided that this right may be suspended if the exercise thereof would put either the children or the other parent at a risk of harm.

(2) It shall be in the discretion of the court, according to circumstances, to fix the time, place, and manner in which the spouses shall have access to the children:

Provided that the right of access may be withdrawn by the Court when the spouse who is granted such right of access fails to exercise such right without reasonable cause.

(3) It shall be lawful for the court entirely to forbid such access to their minor children if it may be detrimental to the welfare of such minors or to the welfare of anyone of the parents.
