Parental consent

[FedupofTurkey]

Married to dh and have dss with us 24/7. Sometimes I am sole carer as dh sometimes works away. The school send information to dh and not to me as he has parental consent and I don't. There is no mother around. Has anyone been in this position? I understand I may have to go to court to get it, is there any other way around?

He has "Parental Responsibility" (PR). It is possible for you to gain Pr with the consent of all others with Pr. When you say there's no mother around is she off the scene or passed away? If she's passed away then he can sign a form as the only person with Pr to grant you Pr. If she's alive she as the mother will have Pr so you need to ask for her consent. If she refuses you will need to apply to Court to be granted it.

I don't have Pr for my DSC but I sign most school things like permission slips etc as my partner works full time and it's usually me that does all the admin things. Their mum isn't interested in that sort of thing and passes all school letters etc across to us anyway. The school know I'm not their mum and they've not been bothered by me doing so and I've been asked by teachers on numerous occasions for my permission for the DSC to do various things.

Thanks mum, the mum has passed away do the form should 't be a problem. Is it a school form or something more official?

My husband doesn't have PR of my kids but he signs letters and forms from school. Yours must be super strict.
In regards to the form question check out www.gov.uk and look for Parental rights and responsibilities, it tells you everything you need to know.

No it's not through the school. It is a legal document.

You need to sign a Parental Responsibility Agreement (Google it for a link to one to print off from one of the gov websites). Take this to you local family or county court and they will witness you signing it. Your husband signs to say he is the only person currently with PR and he consents to you having PR. Easy.
