Just a quickie really - my exp is getting married. Will his wife have parental responsibility? Or would that only kick in if I die?

My exp has parental responsibility as we went to the family court and did it.

If she doesnt have responsibility does she have any other rights? I havent even met her (though I do trust exp's judgement)...

Thanks threeblondeboys - I dont know why but I always had at the back of my mind that old thing about marriage making a difference - I remember when I go the ds' passport that my dh could have applied for it just because we were married.

his wife is not your children's mother. she is not on your children's birth certificate. she would need to officially adopt your children or apply for special guardianship.

Thanks cestlavielife. Much appreciated.

Now I just have to hope that exdp will explain things properly to ds - ds is still unaware that this will mean gf moving into their house fulltime and was quite surprised by that concept...
