FAMILY LAW
Family Law
Going through any relationship issue can be a very disturbing experience. Even if it turns out to be a relief in the end, the emotional turmoil involved could still be upsetting for many. While the emotional damage takes some time to go away, there is also financial and social damage to take care of, and dealt with.
Questions like 'what will happen to the debts, house, money, business, and assets ?' haunt the people too after a separation. Other major concerns include 'who will pay for the child ?', 'how will the dependent party survive ?', and, 'will there be any other losses?' This is where a legal expert on the matter is needed.
At Lawfare Solicitors, our success lies in the fact that we ensure we understand your personal situation and issues. We know that it could affect your family as well as employment, and therefore we tackle the whole situation.
Child Care Advice / Parental Responsibility
Your legal rights as a Parent:
The biological mother of the child has automatic parental responsibility of child from birth.
The father of the child will have parental responsibility if, he was married to the mother either when the child was born or subsequently. A father who’s not married to the child’s mother will have automatic parental responsibility if the child was born after December 1st 2003 and if they’re listed on the child’s birth certificate.
How a father can gain parental responsibility?
- By getting a parental responsibility agreement with the mother, which must then be registered
- By getting a parental responsibility order from a court
- By getting a child arrangement order from the court to determine who the child will live with or spend their time with
It is important to note that the parental responsibility obtained lasts only as long as the order remains in force.

Our team of experts will assist you in making the essential decisions as a parent whilst taking into consideration the needs of the children as a priority.
