Article 158

De la Tutelle

Family Law
Titre IX: De la Minorité, de la Tutelle et de l'Émancipation (On Minority, Guardianship, and Emancipation)
Chapitre II: De la Tutelle (On Guardianship)

Dans la personne seule du survivant des deux époux réside le droit de choisir un tuteur, soit parent, soit étranger, pourvu qu'il se conforme aux dispositions de l'article 153, et qu'il n'exerce ce droit que sous les exceptions et modifications ci-après.

Life lesson: Only the surviving parent may name a guardian — and only with the formality the law demands.
Notes: Surviving spouse's exclusive right to designate a guardian. Must follow Art. 153 formalities (testament or formal declaration). Guardian may be a relative or stranger.
