Parental Responsibility (PR) are all rights, duties, powers, resposibilities and authority that by law a parent of a child has in relation to the child and his property. A mother of a child automatically have PR for their child. Fathers may also have PR depending on their marital status with the mother of his child. If mother and father were married to each other at the time of the child’s birth, they each have parental responsibility for the child. However, unmarried fathers can acquire PR in a number of ways such as if named on the birth certificate, by Court Order, Agreement, and subsequent marriage to the mother. PR Orders and Agreements can be obtained where needed. We can also assist where you may not be the biological parent to your child.
