Parental authority continues during marriage, unless modified by a judgment awarding custody to one parent, by a joint custody implementation order, or by a judgment awarding custody to a person other than a parent. An ascendant, other than a parent, who is awarded custody has parental authority. The authority of a person who is awarded custody, other than a parent or an ascendant, is governed by the rules of tutorship, unless modified by court order.
