Is custody different from parental authority?

Custody: is the physical custody, personal and direct care of the child. It is a right of children and adolescents, as well as an obligation of parents or guardians. legal representatives. It can be reconciled and assigned to only one parent or close relative if it is demonstrated that the other parent is not suitable for the care of the children. 

Parental authority: is the set of rights that the Law recognises to parents over their children, sons or daughters who have not been emancipated, in order to protect them without it being dependent on the existence or not of a marriage bond. The rights included in parental authority are: 1. to the usufruct of the property of the child. 2. To the administration of those assets. 3. to the judicial and extrajudicial representation of the son, daughter or child. 4. To the right of guardianship, direction and correction of the son, daughter or child. This is unwaivable, non-transferable and imprescriptible, so that parents cannot refuse their obligations towards their children. The only exception to its restriction or interruption is by judicial decision or when an adoption takes place.
