Withdrawals may be authorised in emergencies and on an exceptional basis.
When, pursuant to articles L. 7124-4 and L. 7124-4-1, the employment of a child is not subject to authorisation, the rules for dividing the remuneration received by this child between his legal representatives and the allowance are set by the authorisation decision provided for in article L. 7124-5. Deductions from the allowance may be authorised under the conditions set out in the second paragraph of article L. 7124-9.
