Custody

Detention

Custody may consist of monitoring.

The etymological origin of the term custody that concerns us now is found in Latin. Specifically, we can say that it emanates from "custodia", which means "guardian" and that, in turn, it emanates from "custos", which can be translated as "guardian".

Custody is about the action and effect of guarding (keeping with care and vigilance ). For example: "The accused was taken into custody of the Federal Police" , "A guard is in charge of guarding the building" , "Can I leave my dog ​​in your custody for a few days?" "It's just that I have to travel for work and I can't take it with me."

The person who is in charge of guarding a prisoner, a building or a valuable object is also known as a custodian: "The fugitive murdered his guard and escaped from the vehicle that was transporting him to the prison" , "The guard of the palace was reduced by the kidnappers, who entered through the front door" , "Investigators believe that the guard of the jewel was bribed" .

Child custody

When a couple with children decides to end their marriage, that is when the word custody begins to be used, by them and their lawyers . That is, agreements or trials begin, depending on whether they are successful or not, to try to clearly determine which of the two members of the relationship will be in charge of living daily with the children.

In many cases what is established by the judge is what is called shared custody , that is, both parents will have the possibility of living during the period corresponding to the month with the children. However, it must be clear that the judge will not grant this type of custody when he perceives that one of the adults is immersed in a criminal process in which his ex-partner or children have been the victim.

A psychologist, a social worker, an expert report, interviews with the parents themselves and even with the children, if deemed appropriate, are the sources that the judicial authority will use to ultimately determine whether to grant shared custody or whether Only one of the two parties is the one that will have it. In this sense, it will always establish as a top priority that minors are well in all aspects of their lives.

Vigilant

He who is dedicated to guarding is known as custodian.
