Parental Authority: Responsibility and Safeguarding the Future
In Cibeles we understand parental authority as the set of duties and rights that parents have to protect the integrity, health, and education of their children. However, there are critical situations where this exercise becomes unfeasible or risky. Our role is to intervene with technical rigor to limit, suspend, or terminate this authority when it is necessary to guarantee a safe and stable environment for the infant.
We approach these cases with the seriousness that child protection demands, acting as legal strategists in cases of abandonment, neglect of duties, or situations of risk. At Cibeles, our priority is for the law to serve as a shield that ensures the best interests of children above any conflict between adults.


FAQs
Suspension is a temporary measure applied when there are temporary impediments to exercising parental authority. In contrast, termination is a permanent sanction for serious misconduct, such as prolonged abandonment, violence, or repeated failure to fulfill obligations. At Cibeles, we analyze the severity of each case to determine the most effective legal course of action, ensuring that the measure taken best protects the infant’s long-term development and stability.
There is a common misconception about this: the loss of parental authority extinguishes the rights of the parent (such as deciding on the education or property of the child), but does not eliminate your obligations. The duty to provide food and financial support remains intact. Our legal strategy ensures that, even if a parent’s authority is restricted due to their conduct, the child’s right to receive child support is fully guaranteed and protected by law.
