Parental responsibility

[FakeSnow]

Do i have sole parental responsibility? I had an appointment for my son today she asked if I had sole parental responsibility, I explained no it was shared and she asked if father had given permission for appointment, I said no as we have no contact and haven’t for years but he is on the birth certificate, she said that means I have sole parental responsibility as im the one making the day to day decisions, is that right? Do I just say yes in future as it is awkward having to tell people he is not involved, what do others say?

I don't think I've ever been asked that. But I'd just say yes.

I could be wrong but I suspet that technically he still has PR. On a day to day basis, I can't imagine anyone is going to question you making decisions but it might be worth getting it formalised at some point via the court o that theree's no confusion later?

Not fussed about a court order so won’t be getting one just wondered as I usually say I am
not sole responsibility but she said i am if I am
the one making day to day decisions and he is not around so would be easier to just say yes rather than having to explain.
