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 court’s primary consideration when making the order is the welfare of the child.
Courts commonly grant such orders where the applicant demonstrates commitment, attachment, and involvement in the child’s life.
An order may be refused where the applicant has behaved irresponsibly or is likely to misuse parental responsibility.
The court also has power to revoke a parental responsibility order where appropriate.
