The usufruct of any property is distinguished from the use of the same in that the enjoyment of the thing by the usufructuary is not confined to what is necessary for the maintenance of himself and his family, but he may receive all the fruits and dispose of them as he pleases.
The person who has the use of an estate has only the right to receive the fruits necessary for his own maintenance and that of his family.
The person having the use may also receive the fruits necessary for the maintenance of his wife and children, even though he contract marriage after the use has been granted him.
