Terms Used In Louisiana Children's Code 1561
- Child: means a person under eighteen years of age who has not been judicially emancipated under Civil Code Article 385 or emancipated by marriage under Civil Code Articles 379 through 384. See Louisiana Children's Code 1552
- Guardian: A person legally empowered and charged with the duty of taking care of and managing the property of another person who because of age, intellect, or health, is incapable of managing his (her) own affairs.
No medical insurer of a parent or guardian of a child who would have otherwise been liable for such medical expenses may deny liability to their insured solely because the insured parent or guardian desires to withhold medical or surgical treatment for the child.
