Guardianship and parental responsibility

Guardianship questions can affect major decisions for a child, including travel, legal acts and other responsibilities. The correct route depends on existing parental rights and the decision required.

What clients usually ask

What documents may be relevant?

Bring birth records, existing parenting or court orders, consent correspondence and details of the decision that cannot be made.

The usual first steps

  1. Establish the existing parental responsibilities and rights.
  2. Identify the consent or order required.
  3. Prepare the agreement or application appropriate to the facts.

What to bring

Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
