In a case of relinquishment: Who has parental rights and up to which point?
Have been advised differing opinions:
a) S19/S20 legally signed under witness (Cafcass), transferred parental rights (partially?) to LA.
b) As there was never a court order (e.g. care order, placement order), parental rights remain fully with BM.
Can anyone clarify? Thanks.
(I know that I cannot rely on MN opinion for this, but would like a pointer as to in which direction I need to investigate further. Both opinions have been voiced with some authority; one of them is wrong; which one do I query?)
