Key legal question
Whether extended parental authority under Art. 385(3) CC had to be maintained for the mother after the parents' separation
Extracted holding
Extended parental authority is only preferred when it equally protects the interdicted adult's interests; given the parents' conflict and the mother's unsuitable management of assets, it could be refused.
Extracted reasoning
The mother had made unclear withdrawals from the daughter's assets for loans to family members, showing insufficient diligence in administering the estate; joint parental authority was impossible after separation, and a neutral guardian better protected both financial and personal interests.
