Who has Parental responsibility?

The  Family Law Act 1975 (the Act) sets out the rights, duties, powers and liabilities of spouses and children, and provides for enforcement of those rights and liabilities as well as the dissolution of marriage.

 

It is an automatic presumption in the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth)  both parent have equal shared parental responsibility for each of their child/ren until aged 18 years and this is not affected by changes in the parents' relationship status.

Parental responsibility means all the duties, powers, responsibilities and authority which, by law, parents have in relation their child/ren (see sections 61B to 61DB of the Family Law Act for details).
