As a parent, whether father or mother, you are obligated to see to your child’s essential needs, such as food, clothing, housing, education, personal care, transportation and leisure activities. You also have to maintain your child by, for example, caring for, supervising and raising him or her.
In addition to having parental duties and obligations, fathers and mothers are the legal tutors of their minor children in order to represent them in the exercise of their civil rights and administer their patrimony.
