Article 148

Family Law
Titre VIII: De la Puissance paternelle (On Paternal Authority)

Sont cependant exceptés des présentes dispositions, les biens provenans du travail et de l'industrie particulière des enfans, ainsi que ceux à eux donnés ou légués par des bienfaiteurs qui, dans l'acte stipulant les intérêts desdits enfans, auraient expressément interdit à leur père et mère la faculté de la jouissance.

Life lesson: What a child earns by his own hands belongs to him alone. And what a benefactor gives with conditions, the parent may not touch.
Notes: Two exceptions to parental usufruct: (1) property from the child's own labor and industry, and (2) property donated/bequeathed with an express prohibition on parental enjoyment. Protects child entrepreneurs and honors donor intent. Remarkably progressive recognition of children's economic agency.
