Parental responsibility

I have my daughter full time through the court and her mother wished for no contact with her. This was accepted by the judge. Does the mother still have parental responsibility for our daughter?

Yes she does...

As far as I'm aware a parent can't voluntarily give up parental responsibility. The court would have to take it away from her.

The court order is a no contact order so this will be til she is 18?

Unless the judge removed her PR she still has it..

My children and I have a no contact order against my violent ex.
He still has parental responsibility.

Can you explain why it might be a problem? (sorry I don't understand the significance). If mother has no contact, she won't know what's going on, so won't be in a position to object or support your decisions surely?

Yes she has. PR are only removed when a child is made subject to a Permanence Order. It is a very big step legally to remove PR.

It is not a problem at all. I need a form filling in it and requires signatures from people with parental responsibility so I need to know whether I needed to contact her.

If shes not involved, don't bother. They'll come back to you if its 100% necessary but with a no contact court order I can't imagine they'd expect you to contact her.

Does it say all people with PR? Usually one parent can consent to things.
