Read these notes before you make the agreement.
The making of this agreement will affect the legal position of the mother and the father. You should both seek legal advice before you make the Agreement. You can obtain the name and address of a solicitor from the Children Panel (071-242 1222) or from
your local family proceedings court, or county court
a Citizens Advice Bureau
a Law Centre
a local library.
You may be eligible for legal aid.
Please use black ink (the Agreement will be copied). Put the name of one child only. If the father is to have parental responsibility for more than one child, fill in a separate form for each child. Do not sign the Agreement.
Take it to a local family proceedings court, or county court, or the Principal Registry of the Family Division (the address is below).
A justice of the peace, a justices' clerk, or a court official who is authorised by the judge to administer oaths, will witness your signature and he or she will sign the certificate of the witness.
| To the mother: | When you make the declaration you will have to prove that you are the child's mother so take to the court the child's full birth certificate. |
| You will also need evidence of your identity showing a photograph and signature (for example, a photocard, official pass or passport). | |
| To the father: | You will need evidence of your identity showing a photograph and signature (for example, a photocard, official pass or passport). |
Make 2 copies of the other side of this form. You do not need to copy these notes.
Take, or send, this form and the copies to The Principal Registry of the Family Division, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LP.
The Registry will record the Agreement and keep this form. The copies will be stamped and sent back to each parent at the address on the Agreement. The Agreement will not take effect until it has been received and recorded at the Principal Registry of the Family Division.
Once a parental responsibility agreement has been made it can only end
by an order of the court made on the application of any person who has parental responsibility for the child
by an order of the court made on the application of the child with leave of the court
when the child reaches the age of 18.
C(PRA) (Notes)
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Parental Responsibility Agreement Regulations 1991 by prescribing a new form for the recording of an agreement between the parents of a child that the father is to have parental responsibility for the child within the meaning of section 3 of the Children Act 1989. The layout and content of the form have been improved to make it easier to understand and complete.
S.I. 1991/1478.
