Parental responsibility refers to the legal rights and responsibilities relating to a child`s upbringing. Certain individuals acquire parental responsibility automatically such as a mother of a child or the father of a child if he is named as the father on the child`s birth certificate after December 2003 or was married to the mother at the time the child was born.
Others can acquire parental responsibility by way of an agreement or a Court Order.
Parental Responsibility provides and individual the right to provide a home for a child, protect and maintain the child, disciplining the child, making decisions about the child`s education and medical treatment and any changes to the child`s name.
