KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Parental Responsibility Order
A parental responsibility order is a court order granting parental responsibility to an unmarried father, second female parent, or qualifying step-parent.
The order is made when parental responsibility has not been acquired automatically or by agreement.
In deciding whether to grant the order, the court treats the child’s welfare as the paramount consideration.
Courts generally grant such orders where the applicant demonstrates commitment, attachment, and involvement in the child’s life.
An order may be refused or later revoked where granting parental responsibility would not be in the child’s best interests.
