If the interests of the child so require, the judge may entrust the exercise of parental authority to one of the two parents.
The exercise of rights of access and accommodation may only be refused to the other parent on serious grounds.
When, in accordance with the interests of the child, the continuity and effectiveness of the child’s ties with the parent who does not exercise parental authority so require, the family court judge may organise visiting rights in a designated meeting place.
Where the interests of the child so require or where the direct handover of the child to the other parent presents a danger to one of them, the judge shall organise the arrangements so that they offer all the necessary guarantees. He may provide for it to take place in a meeting place that he designates, or with the assistance of a trusted third party or the representative of a qualified legal entity.
The parent who does not have parental authority retains the right and duty to supervise the maintenance and education of the child. They must be informed of important choices relating to the child’s life. He must comply with his obligation under article 371-2.
