Re: Parental resonsibility

Parental responsibility can be shared with you as a stepparent by all persons currently having parental responsibility. Thus if your wife is the only person with parental responsibility she may sign a simple parental responsibility agreement in which she shares parental responsibility with you. However should the children's biological father have parental responsibility, then his agreement will also be required

A package containing all that is necessary to affect a parental responsibility agreement is available for download from the website at www.legal-zone.co.uk
