KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Parental Responsibility Agreement
A parental responsibility agreement is a formal legal agreement that gives parental responsibility to an unmarried father, second female parent, or step-parent.
The agreement is commonly made between the mother and unmarried father under section 4(1)(b) of the Children Act 1989.
For step-parents, the consent of all persons already holding parental responsibility is generally required.
The agreement must be completed using an official form, signed, witnessed, and registered in the Principal Registry of the Family Division in London.
Once registered, the agreement cannot be cancelled by either party except through a court order.
